Discover Maine Maple Sunday Weekend: A Sweet Spring Tradition

Maine stands as one of the largest producers of maple syrup in the United States, with the tradition of maple sugaring deeply woven into the state’s heritage. Every spring, as winter’s grip begins to soften, locals and travelers alike gather to celebrate the start of the season with Maine Maple Sunday Weekend—a legendary annual event held on the fourth Sunday in March.

Maine Maple Sunday Weekend – March 22-23, 2025

For the 42nd consecutive year, the Maine Maple Producers Association invites you to witness the magic of liquid gold firsthand. On March 22-23, 2025, sugarhouses across the state will throw open their doors for a weekend of free samples, interactive tours, and high-energy family activities.

What to Expect at the Festival:

• Artisan Demonstrations: Learn the high-tech and traditional ways pure Maine maple syrup is made, from tree tapping to the final boil.

• Sugarbush Tours: Take a guided trek through working forests to see the sap flowing in real-time.

• Sweet Indulgence: Feast on fresh maple candies, velvety maple butter, maple cotton candy, and the fan-favorite maple-glazed donuts.

• Family Fun: Many farms offer pancake breakfasts, hayrides, live music, and farm animal encounters.
