Good morning, this is your Burlington Local Frequency for Thursday, July 31, 2025.
After a whirlwind weekend, the Vermont Green Football Club is bringing Burlington to center stage yet again as they prepare for their first-ever league final this Saturday at UVM’s Virtue Field. Last weekend’s playoffs saw joyous pitch invasions and a sea of green as over 4000 fans cheered the team to victory. Owen O’Malley, the Green’s clutch penalty scorer, dedicated their playoff run to the supporters, and head coach Chris Taylor credits Burlington’s passionate soccer community for powering the team to this historic moment. If you want to be part of local sports history, Saturday is the day to bring your energy and pride to the stadium.
With summer in full swing, there’s no shortage of ways to get outside and enjoy the arts, music, and family-friendly adventures all around town. Local art lovers can check out an exuberant new show and join in on craft and conservation activities, or drop by Church Street Marketplace to experience a slice of Burlington history while celebrating the local businesses that are the heart of our downtown. The marketplace is abuzz, so stroll through and discover pop-up performances, street artists, and the businesses that have kept Burlington vibrant for over 25 years.
Families won’t want to miss the packed agenda of children’s activities. From story times and farmers markets to tennis camps and beach bites at Leddy Park, there’s something for every age. If you’ve got a passion for science, the Montshire Museum’s Summer Science Studio and Splash Dance at City Hall Park offer hands-on fun. Later in the afternoon, you can stop by the South Burlington Public Library for Knit for Your Neighbors, a welcoming drop-in for crafters looking to connect and make a difference.
Tonight, music and nightlife take center stage. The riverside patio at the Drake comes alive with free live entertainment, while legendary local guitarist Craig Corzatt brings his alt-country flair to Corked 101. If you’re ready to dance, Burlington’s “Finest Dive Bar” transforms with a touch of Bourbon Street’s spirit right on Jefferson. Those seeking a more laid-back evening can catch the final municipal band concert of the season or chill out downtown with the smooth jazz stylings of Matt Landon at the Night Cap Listening Lounge.
Looking for a little social spark? Head to St Johns Club at 7:15 for the Burlington Social Club’s weekly gathering. And if competition is your thing, test your luck and your moves with Boogie Bingo, happening every Thursday, or join friends for four lively rounds at trivia night hosted by Brian Fleming. For something truly special, the hip-hop artist Grieves performs tonight at the Showcase Lounge in South Burlington, bringing beats and storytelling to the Higher Ground stage at 8 pm.
And for the animal lovers, indulge your cat video obsession and give back to local feline friends with dedicated events downtown. Or, if you prefer adrenaline over furballs, head for the woodland obstacle course and feel the thrill of dirt-track racing at 34 Raceway.
That’s your rundown of everything Burlington is buzzing about on this beautiful Thursday. Whatever your schedule, from arts to sports and community gatherings to outdoor escapes, there’s a spot in Burlington today that’s perfect for you. This has been Burlington Local Frequency.
