Maine Maple Sunday

This Sunday, March 27th, is Easter but it's also Maine Maple Sunday, which is held the 4th Sunday in March every year. Participating sugar houses will be open for visitors to enjoy freshly made maple syrup and candy, demonstrations of syrup production, sugarbush tours and a variety of other family activities.

According to a release from the Governor's Office, Maine's maple industry contributes an estimated $48.7 million to the Maine economy which includes a direct contribution of 27.7 million and multiplier effects. Last year 545,000 gallons of syrup were produced, and Maine is the 3rd largest syrup producing state. Somerset County is the largest producing County in the State of Maine and Maine has around 1.4 million taps collecting syrup
