Best New England Maple Festivals & Events
Statewide Maple Festivals
Massachusetts Maple Weekend
March 20-21, 2021
The main event of the state’s “Maple Month.” Contact the Massachusetts Maple Producers Association to find out which sugarhouse is hosting the kickoff event this season, with state officials in attendance to tap the ceremonial first tree.
New Hampshire Maple Month
March
Traditionally, more than 60 sugarhouses across the state participate in an annual weekend open house where visitors can learn how maple syrup is made; plus free samples, horse-drawn rides, sugar on snow, pancake breakfasts, and more. For 2021, the weekend event has been canceled, and the state will instead celebrate “Maple Month” in March, but many sugarhouses are still choosing one weekend for big maple fun.
Vermont Maple Open House Weekend

Celebrate the season and visit sugarhouses throughout the state. Watch maple syrup being made (weather permitting) and sample maple products. The event is canceled for 2021, but many Vermont sugarhouses will still be celebrating individually.
