Welcome to Marathon
Upon your arrival the Marathon Lions Club with the assistance of the Athletic Club, will help you find free parking. They will also provide a “daily schedule” with the map below. The schedule includes the entertainment, places to eat and the foods available, exhibits and crafts.
Book Sale in Opera House
Opera House? Yes, Marathon has an Opera House! Book lovers will delight in the used book sale on the second story of Peck Memorial Library. Once a grand Opera House, the second floor room is now a well organized used book sale, alphabetized by authors name. Climb the stairs, see a piece of Marathon’s past and find a bargain book!
Quilt Show
Hop on the bus and go to the Quilt Show at the American Legion. This very fine show is a Maple Festival favorite, Quilters all over the central New York area exhibit their finest hand worked quilts.
Pancake Eating Contest
When the new Maple Festival Queen, crowned the night before, drops a sap bucket in the High School Auditorium of Marathon High School, March 21, that will signal the beginning of a 15 minute pancake eating contest to determine who will be the Pancake Eating Champion. Contestants are eating pancakes for their favorite charity, who have worked hard to get pledges per every pancake eaten. This is a fun show and begins at 9 a.m. Don’t miss it!
Pancake Meal Served All Day
Maple Festival goers want to experience the newly made maple syrup cascading down a stack of steaming pancakes. Head to the High School Cafeteria or the Masonic Lodge for the same meal, served both days of the Festival. Eggs, sausage and beverages will be included for the same price as last year.
