Sugar Shack TO Announces Cancellation of 2025 Event

TORONTO, ON – Sugar Shack TO, presented by Redpath, today announced the cancellation of its 2025 event, originally scheduled for March 8-9, 2025, at Sugar Beach.

Due to a reduction in funding from sponsorship and the increase in production costs, the event has made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s event and focus on 2026’s return.

“This was not an easy decision for our organization,” said Mike Riehl, Chair of the Water’s Edge Festivals & Events Board of Directors. “Sugar Shack TO has become a popular winter event for thousands of families across the GTA. While we’re disappointed to cancel this year’s event, we’re committed to returning stronger in 2026 to continue bringing this unique Canadian tradition to Toronto’s waterfront.”

Since its inception, Sugar Shack TO has grown into one of Toronto’s most popular March Break events, drawing over 12,000 visitors annually to the waterfront. The free event has become known for its authentic sugar shack experience, featuring maple taffy rolled on snow, live entertainment, maple sugaring demonstrations, and family activities.

The organizers remain committed to delivering this unique cultural celebration and look forward to welcoming visitors back to Sugar Beach in 2026.
