Looking for an evening twist? Lamplight: Maple Syrup After Dark offers live music by the fire, maple cocktails, and sweet treats for those 19+.

2. Book a Trail Ride

The stables are calling! Spring is the perfect time to saddle up and hit the trails, with crisp air, blooming flowers, and happy horses ready to explore. After a long winter indoors, there's no better way to reconnect with nature than on horseback. Whether you're a pro rider or a first-timer, Rusty Jade Ranch and Teen Ranch offer guided rides through some of Caledon’s most scenic landscapes. Breathe in the fresh air and enjoy the ride!

10. Shop at a Local Farm

No spring bucket list is complete without a visit to one of Caledon’s iconic farm markets. Stop by Heatherlea Farm Shoppe, where you can sip a latte, browse artisanal goods, and pick up all-natural, grass-fed beef for dinner. Or, make it a festive outing at Downey’s EasterFest, where you can enjoy farm activities while stocking up on fresh, local produce. Either way, you're supporting Canadian farmers and bringing home the best flavours of the season!
