Greetings fellow maple lovers! We’ve been eager to create a blog post listing maple events for a while now. With the start of fall, we thought this would be the perfect time to share a list of maple events happening over the coming year, starting this December.
Whether you’re a seasoned sugarmaker or just starting out, these events offer something for everyone. You can learn more about maple sugaring techniques, refine your skills, connect with other maple enthusiasts, sample local maple products, and simply enjoy the wonderful world of maple, including maple-inspired music, performance and shenanigans! We’ve included events from across the United States, as well as some in Quebec and Ontario, so no matter where you are, there’s likely something interesting to discover near you.
If you know of an event that is not listed here but should be, please let us know! Our aim is to update and publish this list annually for our customers, fans and fellow maple aficionados. Thanks!
