Maine Maple Sunday -- This Weekend!
The Maine Maple Producers Association welcomes you to join Maine’s maple syrup producers, statewide, as they celebrate Maine Maple Sunday.
On March 26 and 27, Maine maple producers will be hosting the 39th annual Maine Maple Sunday.
Maine maple producers event listings and map can be found online here.
Most sugarhouses offer maple syrup samples and demonstrations on how pure Maine maple syrup is made. Many farms offer games, activities, treats, sugarbush tours, music, and so much more.
Maine Maple Sunday is always the fourth Sunday in March; although, some sugarhouses are offering events for both Saturday and Sunday. Please be sure to read the description of each sugarhouse to know what times they will be open, and the activities they offer.

About Unclaimed Property
The Maine State Treasurer manages Maine’s unclaimed property program. Unclaimed property consists of money and other financial assets that are considered lost or abandoned when an owner cannot be located after a specified period of time of inactivity. It includes items such as bank accounts, uncashed checks, life insurance policies, unpaid wages, stocks and dividends, refunds, and safe deposit box contents. Unclaimed property does not include real estate, animals, or vehicles.
