Good morning, this is your Burlington Local Frequency for Monday, July 21, 2025.
We’re kicking things off with a piece of Burlington history that's just been honored. On South Prospect Street, the State of Vermont has installed a Roadside Historic Site Marker celebrating over a century of golf in Burlington. The sign highlights the Burlington Country Club, founded in 1924, and its predecessor the Waubanakee Golf Club, dating back to 1897. This recognition puts a spotlight not just on local sports, but on the legacy and design influence of Donald J. Ross, a major name in American golf course architecture. If you’re taking a stroll on South Prospect, keep an eye out for this new marker—a little reminder of Burlington’s sporting roots and community spirit.
For families and anyone looking for fun, the summer event calendar is packed. Over at the Montshire Museum, family-friendly activities are running throughout the day, including Forest Ziplines and a summer science studio. If you want to get creative, swing by Riot Craft Studio for a Doodle Pop-Up or catch the Family Art Saturday at BCA. Burlington continues to be a hub for live music and culture—tonight, Light Club Lamp Shop is hosting The Stevenson Ranch Davidians with Happy Spangler, promising an indie vibe for the late-night crowd.
Sports fans, get ready for a major week: Vermont Green FC is riding high after an undefeated regular season and an epic comeback win over FC Motown. The Green are now set to host the 2025 Eastern Conference Finals and the National Semifinal this Friday at Virtue Field. Tickets go on sale Wednesday at 10am, and if the community’s previous sellouts are anything to go by, you’ll want to secure your spot early. This is shaping up to be the club's biggest moment yet, and fans are encouraged to bring the energy.
History buffs have something special as well. Across town at the University of Vermont, the Marquis de Lafayette commemorative events are in full swing, marking the bicentennial of the famed French general’s visit to Burlington. Today at Billings Library, you can see the exhibit tracing UVM’s connection to Lafayette, and later this week, don’t miss the special cornerstone ceremony at the historic Old Mill building, complete with music and a public reception. It’s not every day you get a front-row seat to living history.
And don’t forget to hydrate and stay weather-aware; recent summers have brought unpredictable rains and even flash flooding to Vermont. Local emergency officials are reminding residents to brush up on their flood preparedness and have emergency kits stocked, just in case.
That’s your pulse on what’s happening in Burlington—history celebrated, sports heating up, art and music to discover, and plenty of ways for everyone to get involved. This has been Burlington Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
