Celebrate a sweet tradition: Maine Maple Sunday in Rockport
CAMDEN ‚— The Camden-Rockport Historical Society invites the public to celebrate Maine Maple Sunday on March 23 from noon to 3 p.m. and get immersed in the tradition of maple syrup production.
Maine Maple Sunday is celebrated annually on the fourth Sunday of March, with various sugarhouses across the state participating in this sweet tradition.
Learn about the tree tapping and sap boiling process firsthand from Camden and Rockport locals who have passed down the tradition for generations. This year, Keryn Annis, owner of the Goose River Greenery farmstand in Rockport, will be manning the Sugar Shack and sharing some of his favorite tricks of the sap trade.
Marshmallows will be roasted over the fire pit and ice cream will be served, made perfec with drizzled syrup. The historic homestead, barn and blacksmith shop will all be open, and there will be fiddle music in the museum.
The event is free and open to all, making it an ideal outing for families and individuals eager to experience a quintessential Maine tradition.

The Maine Immigrants’ Rights Coalition says over the past two weeks its immigrant defense hotline has seen an uptick in reported ICE detentions.
They say this corresponds with a national shift in ICE activity, including bids for local businesses to cooperate with ICE.
In Maine, the arrests follow a broader trend of targeting Black and brown immigrants, including people navigating immigration proceedings.
The coalition, which represents more than 100 organizations, says it’s ready to protect civil and human rights and is urging immigrants to prepare themselves and their families.
BE THE FIRST TO COMMENT
They suggest having the defense hotline ready in case you witness ICE activity, making sure you have important personal documents in case of detention, and reviewing rights around judicial warrants in private spaces, like your home or workplace.
It wouldn’t be Mother’s Day without a stop at the florist.
According to Fox Business, about 154 million flowers are sold during the week of Mother’s Day. So it’s safe to say it was a busy day for stores like Estabrook’s Maine Garden Center and Nursery.
Plenty of families stopped by to pick out flowers on Sunday, looking to choose the perfect bouquet for their moms.
“I think Mother’s Day is tradition, you know, and so it’s great to see families here. We have a lot of new families that have come today for the first time with their young children and their mother. Watching the young kids and seeing how excited they are—their eyes light up at all the beautiful flowers,” Tom Estabrook, president of Estabrook’s, said.
Estabrook says Mother’s Day tends to be a great kickoff to the spring season.
