Experience the Magic of Maple Weekend
For those who have a penchant for sweet delights, Maple Weekend in Connecticut is an event not to be missed. This two-day celebration, occurring on March 16-17, invites visitors to explore 18 towns across the state, where sugarhouses open their doors for tours, demonstrations, and tastings. Attendees can witness firsthand how sap is collected and transformed into the beloved maple syrup.
Hosted by the Maple Syrup Producers Association of Connecticut, this event is a fantastic opportunity for families and individuals alike to learn about the art of sugaring. Visitors can engage with local sugarmakers who will share their expertise on how the sap is harvested from February through late March, and how the rich, amber color of maple syrup is achieved through boiling. The association’s website provides a comprehensive list of participating sugarhouses, complete with addresses and contact information, ensuring that no sweet spot is missed.
