Maine Maple Sunday

Maine Events

Mar 23

One of the most anticipated weekends of the spring in Maine is Maine Maple Sunday. This annual celebration invites locals and visitors to experience maple syrup production, sample syrup and celebrate a sign that spring has arrived.

Held every year on the fourth weekend of March, this event draws visitors from near and far to explore the state’s sugarhouses and learn about the syrup-making process. For maple syrup producers, it’s the busiest day of the year and a critical time for many small, family-owned businesses.

The event offers a chance to learn about the process from start to finish—from the tapping of the trees to boiling the sap down—and even get a glimpse of the work involved in maintaining a sustainable maple farm. The sugarhouses often offer samples of syrup over vanilla ice cream and sell products like maple cotton candy, maple salsa, and other maple themed treats.

Maine Maple Sunday is a great opportunity to support the hardworking families who own and operate the sugarhouses. For these small businesses, it’s a vital day that brings the community together and ensures that the tradition of syrup making continues for years to come. So, whether you’re a longtime fan of Maine maple syrup or a first-time visitor, mark your calendar for Maine Maple Sunday!
