Statewide Maple Weekend Cancelled NEW YORK, STATEWIDE — Citing public safety concerns, the 2021 Maple Weekend (typically celebrated in March) has been cancelled. Because some local maple producers have facilities that can safely operate with drive-through, online ordering for take-out, and under the limited-capacity guidelines, the New York State Maple Producers Association (NYSMPA) encourages customers to use their map of maple producers and thier Producer Directory to find out what types of activities the sites near you can host (nysmaple. com/retail-dealers).
