Good morning, this is your Burlington Local Frequency for Saturday, July 26th, 2025.
Summer is in full swing and Burlington is buzzing with things to do, so let’s dive right into what’s happening around town today. If you’re planning to travel along Interstate 91, please note there’s a full closure of the southbound lanes near Fairlee starting this morning, and that detour’s expected to stick around for the next 35 days. Be prepared for extra traffic if you’re heading that way, especially during rush hours, as crews make progress on the ledge stabilization project.
Now, if you feel like getting out and soaking up some local flavor, the beloved Burlington Farmers Market is open today from 9 to 2, perfect for picking up fresh produce, crafts, and treats while connecting with neighbors old and new. For families and film lovers, the Vermont International Film Festival has a special screening of Era Oculta tonight at 7 in the Screening Room, offering something a little bit different for your Saturday evening. Maybe laughter’s more your thing? Comedy fans can catch a double dose at Vermont Comedy Club with Tom Thakkar hitting the stage at both 7:30 and again at 9:30 tonight, promising big laughs and a high-energy crowd.
If chocolate is your weakness, treat yourself to the Ultimate Chocolate Tasting Experience happening today at 750 Pine Street, where you can sample gourmet creations and learn a little about the art behind every bite. Those with an appetite for music and late-night fun should swing by Ri Ra where a live DJ will help you dance off whatever chocolate you manage to consume, with tunes starting at 10 and going into the night.
Just over the city line, art lovers can pop into the South Burlington Public Library’s gallery for a special exhibit focused on the life and legacy of the Marquis de Lafayette—a fascinating glimpse at history running throughout July. If you want to stay active, several parks around town will be bustling with runners, cyclists, and dog walkers, making for a lively atmosphere wherever you turn.
In statewide news, Vermont school communities are breathing a sigh of relief as federal grant money that had been withheld is finally being released, which means critical summer camps, tutoring programs, and much-needed resources for kids and families can move full steam ahead. And while most of us will thankfully never have to worry about it, there’s still talk after news broke that a Vermont superintendent faced hours of detention and a search at a Texas border crossing this week, a story that’s gotten attention across the region.
So, whether you want to eat fresh, watch a film, dance until late, or just stroll and people-watch around beautiful Burlington, there’s something in the air today for everyone. This has been Burlington Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
