The New York State Maple Producers Association invites you to one of the state’s sweetest event’s Maple Weekend

The goal of Maple Weekend is to share the real taste of the mouth-watering maple syrup with you while also demonstrating the various ways to make it.  Whether it’s simply boiling the sap over an open fire or running it through some highly scientific equipment, great taste is always the final product.

Maple Weekend began almost 15 years ago when Wyoming County maple producers opened their doors to the public to showcase the production of maple products from tree to table.  The first event, known then as Maple Sunday, demonstrated how maple syrup was made by tapping trees, collecting sap and boiling it into syrup.  Producers also provided samples and sold maple products to the public. 

Now Maple Weekend occurs statewide and the event has grown so much that the maple producers had to add a second weekend.  This year, Maple Weekend will be March 20-21 and 27-28 from 10am – 4pm each day.
