Mountain State Maple Days

Celebrate all things syrup with the West Virginia Maple Syrup Producers Association (WVMSPA) during the 8th annual Mountain State Maple Days. On Saturday, February 15, 2025, and Saturday, March 15, 2025, “sugarhouses” and businesses throughout Mountaineer Country, and all of West Virginia will be taking part in this annual celebration as a way to celebrate the maple industry within West Virginia. 

Take advantage and learn how maple syrup is produced locally when sugarhouses and businesses open their doors to the public during Mountain State Maple Days. Go behind the scenes to get a glimpse at the process that goes into making each golden drop of maple syrup. This process has been refined for hundreds of years, becoming a regional tradition and staple in homes across West Virginia.

Join WVMSPA in celebrating by sampling maple syrup-inspired menus, watching a tapping demonstration, and supporting locally-owned businesses that produce this West Virginia-grown product every day in Almost Heaven.

Have a look at local Mountaineer Country partners participating in Mountain State Maple Days:

Watch sap being gathered from the sugar bush, boiling in the evaporator to become maple syrup, and then filtered and bottled. There will be a scavenger hunt for the young kids, sap and syrup density monitoring for the middle school kids, and refreshments for the adults. Samples of the different grades of syrup will be available along with samples of maple candy, maple walnuts, other items, and the famous maple bacon smokies.  Also, pure West Virginia Maple products will be available for purchase.
