Maple Weekend (Saturday and Sunday)
Maple Weekend, a series of two weekends to celebrate New York State’s maple syrup industry, kicks off on Saturday. Around 160 farms are taking part, including dozens in the Finger Lakes region.
Farms are organizing maple festivals, tasting events, pancake breakfasts, and tours of how they make maple products. Farms will have maple syrup for sale and other maple-favored products, including cotton candy, ice cream, popcorn, and glazed donuts.
The New York State Maple Producers’ Association organizes Maple Weekend every year. Earlier this week, News10NBC went to Schoff’s Sugar Shack in Victor to see how they’re gearing up for Maple Weekend and how the recent up-and-down weather is impacting their production.
