BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — It’s that sweet time of the year once again: Maple Weekend is almost upon Western New York.

Dozens of Maple Producers around the area are ready to open up their sugarhouses to visitors. Attendees can see how maple syrup is made and sample products while learning about the history of maple producers. In addition, some locations will be sharing maple syrup-related recipes as well as offering family-friendly activities.

Sugarhouses will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the weekends of March 18-19 and March 25-26 and admission is free.

New York is the second-largest maple-producing state in the U.S., with 2.9 million taps
accounting for approximately 17% of the syrup made in the U.S. in 2022, according to a release from the Western New York Maple Producers Association.
