CNY Maple Fest

Spring in Cortland County means maple season, and there’s no sweeter way to celebrate than at the CNY Maple Festival in the Village of Marathon, NY. This Central New York favorite brings together local maple producers, artisan vendors, live entertainment, and plenty of maple-inspired treats for a weekend that feels equal parts small-town tradition and early-spring getaway.

Stroll downtown Marathon for pancake breakfasts, syrup tastings, handmade goods, and family-friendly fun that highlights the Finger Lakes region’s rich sugaring heritage. Whether you’re visiting from Ithaca, Syracuse, or just looking for a fresh spring adventure, this festival is an easy (and delicious) way to experience Cortland County.
