National Maple Syrup Day

National Maple Syrup Day celebrates the sweet and versatile syrup derived from the sap of sugar maple trees. This annual food observance pays tribute to the rich history of maple syrup production in North America, dating back to Indigenous peoples who first discovered the process. Maple syrup is primarily produced in the northeastern parts of the United States and Canada. It is commonly used as a topping for pancakes, waffles, and French toast, as well as in baking and cooking. Celebrations may include sampling different grades of maple syrup, visiting sugar shacks, and participating in maple-themed events.
