Maple Weekend Begins Saturday

Maple Weekend Begins Saturday

NEW YORK — Maple Weekend is a chance for the public to come out to local farms to learn about New York’s maple sugarmaking processes and traditions and to taste pure maple syrup in its many forms – right from the source. 

Maple Weekend begins Saturday, March 19 and Sunday, March 20 and will take place again the following weekend on Saturday, March 26 and Sunday, March 27 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at most locations. The event is organized and sponsored by the New York State Maple Producers’ Associations, proudly funded by both members and the NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets. 

Maple Weekend began in 1995 as a single “Maple Sunday” and is now in the 26th year of the event that spans four days and two weekends at all locations across New York State. Tours and samples are offered at most sites free of charge, excluding museums. On-site pancake breakfasts, where available, incur a per-plate cost and prices vary by location. 

Visitors to Maple Weekend can: taste a pure and natural food product at its freshest and in its many forms; learn how maple syrup and other maple confections are made; experience the unique family traditions of making maple syrup in New York State; celebrate New York’s first agricultural harvest of the season in a family-friendly environment; meet the producers who annually make New York the second largest maple producing state in the U.S.; share in the many ways to cook and bake maple syrup, maple sap, and other maple drinks and products; and witness sustainable agriculture at its best.
