Good morning, this is your Burlington Local Frequency for Saturday, July 19, 2025.
We’re waking up this morning to some great news for Vermont families as Senator Bernie Sanders has announced a fresh infusion of six and a half million dollars in summer and afterschool funding for programs across the state. This means more resources for Burlington families looking to keep kids learning and active through these sunny months, and more support for youth centers and community organizations right in our own neighborhoods.
If you’re planning your Saturday in Burlington, you’ll want to make your way to the Burlington Waterfront for the annual Vermont Brewers Festival, kicking off at noon. This is one of the state’s favorite summer traditions with over fifty breweries pouring more than two hundred different beers, including special collaborations you won’t find anywhere else. There’s local food, games, retail vendors, and live music keeping the party going, so it’s the perfect event for craft beer fans and anyone wanting to soak up the lakeside summer scene.
Music lovers, you’re in luck tonight. Head down to Foam Brewers for a free concert on the waterfront at nine. Vermont’s own Baby Fearn will be blending pop, jazz, soul, and a dash of theater, filling the night with music aimed at building community and spreading joy. And if you stick around, tomorrow brings singer songwriter David Karl Roberts to the same stage for an afternoon set that’s sure to hit the right notes.
Earlier in the afternoon, City Hall Park is hosting the Vintage Twilight Block Party. The music kicks off at four and runs until eight, featuring Cold Chocolate with Emma Cook for a family-friendly neighborhood bash at the heart of downtown. Meanwhile, for those looking for daytime grooves, Splash Dance Vintage at 2:30 will have you moving with favorites old and new, all delivered with a healthy dose of musical sunshine.
There’s also exciting economic and tech news: in Washington, Vermont Representative Becca Balint has helped secure a ten million dollar Department of Defense contract for MVP Robotics, a local company known for developing tech used in both sports and military training. It highlights just how much innovation is springing up right here in our state, supporting jobs and Vermont’s growing reputation as a hub for cutting-edge small business.
No matter what your plans, whether you’re catching a show, testing a rare brew, dancing downtown, or just savoring some sunshine, Burlington is buzzing with possibility. This has been Burlington Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
