Maine Maple Sunday is one of the sweetest traditions of the year, celebrated every March as sugarhouses across Maine open their doors for tours, demonstrations, tastings, and family-friendly fun. Kids can watch sap being boiled down into syrup, learn how maple products are made, sample fresh treats, and explore working farms that come alive during maple season. With baby animals, tractor rides, maple cotton candy, and warm syrup poured over snow, it’s the perfect early-spring outing after a long Maine winter.

Dozens of sugarhouses participate, each offering its own mix of activities—some host pancake breakfasts, some offer hands-on experiences, and others provide behind-the-scenes tours and maple-themed goodies to take home. Whether you’re visiting a single farm or making a whole weekend of it, Maine Maple Sunday is a fun, educational, and delicious way to welcome spring with the whole family. Check each participating sugarhouse for hours, activities, and special events, as offerings can vary from town to town.
