Good morning, this is your Burlington Local Frequency for Thursday, September 4th. We’ve got a whole lot happening around town today and heading into the weekend, so let’s dive straight into the buzz. First off, today at Baird Park, there’s a public meeting from two thirty in the afternoon till six thirty in the evening. If you care about how our parks are shaped or want to voice your ideas on upcoming improvements, this is your chance to connect with Parks and Rec and other neighbors. Over at the South Burlington Library, their warm and welcoming “Knit for Your Neighbors” drop-in runs from two to five. Yarn, needles, and new friends are provided—all ages and abilities are encouraged to gather, share stories, and create something cozy for folks in need.

As the workday winds down, check out a community fitness class at six thirty. It’s a completely free, drop-in session, so whether you’re a regular or just feeling spontaneous, you can register online or sign up at the door. It’s a great way to get moving and meet people who love staying active in Burlington.

Turning attention to the arts, big news for creators, artists, and families—the legendary Art Hop festival kicks off tomorrow! From Friday through Sunday, the South End Arts District spills over with more than a hundred open studios, eye-catching exhibits, food trucks, and pop-up markets. There are special projects for kids at Kids Hop and don’t forget the STRUT! fashion show, which spotlights local designers. If you’re into art, food, or family fun, Art Hop is a signature Burlington experience you won’t want to miss this Labor Day weekend.

Music lovers have something special tonight too: Vance Joy joins Kyle Schuesler, Jonah Kagen, and Evan Honer at The Green at Shelburne Museum. That’s just a quick drive down Shelburne Road and promises a memorable evening of indie and folk tunes under the September sky. If you’re looking for more live events, be sure to check Higher Ground and The Waterhole for local acts lighting up our stages all week.

For the latest on campus happenings, UVM’s ActivitiesFest continues today from eleven till two, bringing student clubs, food, and music to the green. While you’re there, learn about upcoming events like the Community Service Fair, sustainable campus sessions, and even birding adventures later this month. And don’t forget—Sunday is Burlington’s Pride Parade and Festival. The city will be radiating with colors, music, and a celebration of love from nine thirty to five, culminating in a lakeside party that brings everyone together.

A quick note from local news: Vermont State Police are searching for David Bakriges, a missing vulnerable adult last seen in Waterbury. If you have any information, please contact the Berlin Barracks.

No matter your interests, Burlington is buzzing this week with art, music, community, and opportunities to connect. This has been Burlington Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
