Good morning, this is your Burlington Local Frequency for Saturday, July 12th, 2025.
Burlington is buzzing with activity today, and there’s truly something for everyone. If you’re looking for a little intrigue, the Waterman Building is hosting not one but two Murder Mystery events. Put your detective hat on and see if you can catch the killer or solve the case—these interactive experiences are sure to turn an ordinary Saturday into an unforgettable whodunit.
Downtown is also gearing up for what’s being called the biggest party of the summer. Families and friends are invited to gather for a day packed with fun, food, and entertainment, all free of charge. Local vendors, live music, and activities for the kids make this an ideal way to explore the heart of Burlington and soak in the community spirit. So, bring your energy and your appetite for what’s poised to be the highlight of the season.
Music lovers have plenty of reasons to stay out late tonight. Cuban rhythms take over as Los Songoros hit the stage for Cuban Music Night. Head over for live music from 8:30 to 11, with margaritas and Cuba Libres flowing all day. If jazz or indie is more your style, check out the Venetian Bar and Lounge for a late-evening set from local artists. Burlington continues to show why it’s a regional hub for live, local performances.
On a more serious note, Burlington officials have just broken ground on a transformative upgrade to the city’s main wastewater treatment plant. This major project, decades in the making, will guard Lake Champlain from pollution, prevent those frustrating algae blooms, and boost the city’s resilience against storms. The overhaul is expected to be the largest wastewater infrastructure investment Vermont has ever seen, promising cleaner water and a boost to the city’s ongoing housing efforts.
Meanwhile, the city’s commitment to community well-being is on full display with the new COTS Waystation project. Thanks to generous foundation support and wide community backing, Burlington is closer than ever to opening a modern, accessible shelter for our neighbors experiencing homelessness. The renovated facility on Pearl Street will triple the existing shelter space, providing not just a roof but also critical support services and a first step towards permanent housing. Locals are encouraged to pitch in, as every donation gets matched during this final fundraising push.
Elsewhere in the region, a heads up about the weather—some rural Vermont communities are still recovering from recent flash floods after heavy rain. While Burlington avoided the worst, travelers are urged to watch for occasional road closures and take care if you’re heading out on day trips.
And finally, if you’re in the mood for a short drive, the 52nd Annual Antiques and Uniques Festival runs until 3 p.m. on Craftsbury Common. It’s a treasure trove for collectors and a glimpse into Vermont’s vibrant small-town life.
That’s everything you need to get your weekend started right. This has been Burlington Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
