The fall season is finally upon us and it's time to celebrate one of Maine's favorite fall flavors: Maple!

Get all in with this special Maine fall flavor with the second annual Maine Maple Fall Fest on October 9th and 10th from 9 AM to 4 PM where you can tour Maine's sugar houses and try all kinds of maple syrup treats like candies, cotton candy, ice cream, baked treats, and, of course, some straight-up Maine-produced maple syrup.

The festival is being put on by the Maine Maple Producers Association and is a family-friendly fall event that brings Mainers to their local maple producers and try the many ways you can enjoy maple syrup.

Locations participating in the event include:

Each sugar house will have its own special program for the event so be sure to check out the Maine Maple Producers Association webpage for the event to see which locations are close to you and what special things these producers are doing for the event.
