Good morning, this is your Burlington Local Frequency for Tuesday, July 8, 2025.
We’re kicking off a beautiful summer Tuesday here in Burlington, and there is no shortage of local happenings and opportunities around the city today. If you’re looking for things to do or ways to get involved, you’re in the right place.
First up, the Burlington School District is offering free summer meals for all kids aged 18 and under. No matter where you’re from, you can stop by one of four meal sites across Burlington. Lunch is being served at Franklin Square Apartments, Riverside Apartments, and South Meadow from noon to one, with supper at Roosevelt Park from five to six in the evening. For families who’d like to plan ahead, the district is also providing free seven-day meal boxes, which will be available for pick-up at the Intervale Center on Wednesdays later this month. No registration or paperwork is required—just show up, grab a meal, and enjoy a healthy bite this summer. This program runs Monday through Friday until August 7th, making it a fantastic resource for Burlington’s families to take advantage of during these warm summer days.
Now, if you’re looking to get involved in city planning or want your voice heard, the South Burlington Planning Commission is holding a public hearing tonight at 7 pm to discuss proposed amendments to the city’s Land Development Regulations. Public hearings like this one are where big decisions about the city’s future get made, so if you’re passionate about development, housing, or land use, this is your chance to learn more and share your thoughts with local leaders.
Moving on to the arts, Burlington City Arts is holding an Executive Committee meeting today, and for those who want to keep a finger on the pulse of the local arts scene, this could be a great way to get informed about upcoming programs or volunteering opportunities.
For those looking for something active, don’t forget about the three indoor courts available around Burlington—perfect for a quick tennis match or a pickup game. Punch cards are for sale on site, so you can hit the courts all summer long.
And, a quick note for art lovers: over in neighboring South Burlington, the Public Art Gallery is hosting a solo exhibition of work by Winooski-based artist Julianna Brazill, so if you’re looking for a dose of inspiration, consider stopping by and supporting local talent.
That’s a wrap for your Tuesday in Burlington. Whether you’re grabbing a free lunch, engaging in local government, getting active, or enjoying the creative energy of our city, there’s plenty to lift your spirits and keep you connected to your community. This has been Burlington Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
