Special Events at Tyler
   



Some of our most popular happenings include...

Pancake Breakfast and Maple Sugaring Celebration
Tyler's Pancake Breakfast and Maple Sugaring Celebration attracts hundreds of visitors each February to an all-you-can-eat pancake and sausage breakfast and old-fashioned maple sugaring festival. On the first Saturday in February, children and adults can enjoy a hearty breakfast, then go out into the Arboretum to learn how real maple syrup is made on maple sugaring tours and demonstrations scheduled throughout the day.


Arbor Day Plant Sale
Celebrate Arbor Day by attending Tyler's Spring Plant Sale. On the last Saturday in April, the Arboretum offers a fine selection of annuals, perennials, container plants, shrubs and trees. A selection of butterfly-attracting plants will help turn your garden into an oasis for these beautiful insects. Experts are on hand to answer your gardening questions and demonstrate planting techniques. Admission to the Arboretum is free for this event. If you're a member of the Arboretum, you can enjoy an exclusive Plant Sale Preview on the evening before the sale is opened to the public. 


Pumpkin Days
Thousands of visitors come to Tyler on the third weekend in October each year to enjoy Pumpkin Days, our annual fall festival, making it the biggest event of the year at the Arboretum. Pumpkin Days activities and entertainment include Tyler's famous Haunted Barn, hayrides, music, crafts, games for kids, scarecrow making, pumpkin decorating, plenty of food, and more. Watching Chuck Feld create his fantastic sand sculptures has become a Pumpkin Days tradition. Makin' Music puts on a performance that gets kids dancing and singing along. Guided tours of Tyler's historic Lachford Hall and Painter Library are also part of the festival.
