Welcome to Maple Weekend

March 17-18 and 24-25, 2012 10am-4pm each day

New York State Maple Producers manufactured 564,000 gallons of maple syrup in 2011, the highest production rate in 64 years.  Want to know what goes into making all that syrup?  Find out at one of the sweetest events of the season, the 17th annual Maple Weekend.  

The New York State Maple Producers Association invites families from across the Empire State and neighboring areas to learn all about the production of maple syrup and other related products.  Our goal during Maple Weekend is to share the taste of real mouth-watering maple syrup with you.  Maple producers will demonstrate how to make syrup -- whether it’s simply boiling the sap over an open fire or running it through highly scientific equipment -- the results always taste great!

New York State maple syrup has established a reputation as one of the highest quality maple syrups in the world.  Maple Weekend allows New York Maple producers to demonstrate the superiority of their product, and invites the public to sugarhouses to try for themselves.

2011 was a very good year for New York State maple syrup producers.  Production increased 81% over 2010, the highest levels since 1947. 

From the first Maple Sunday in Wyoming County in the mid 1990s to today’s state-wide Maple Weekend event, the goal remains the same --  to give the public a first-hand opportunity to see how maple products are produced, from tree to table, along with the chance to taste and purchase maple products.  This year, Maple Weekend takes place March 17-18 and 24-25 from 10am – 4pm each day.  Check our Locations page for a producer near you and to see the dates and times that they’re open.

The best part is that admission is free!!
