Good morning, this is your Burlington Local Frequency for Wednesday, August 20. If you have plans to head out today, it’s a lively one around the Queen City. Starting with an update from the Vermont State Police: they’ve arrested a suspect on charges of second-degree murder and first-degree aggravated domestic assault. The arraignment happens today at 12:30 in Burlington. Police remind everyone to be cautious around I-89 northbound at mile marker 67, where delays continue due to an ongoing traffic hazard—drivers should plan alternate routes and expect updates later in the day.
Switching gears to today’s events, if you’re looking to add some music to your lunch break, City Hall Park is hosting the Summer Concert Series at 12:30. Folk duo Sara Grey and Kieron Means will fill the air with traditional North American songs and Appalachian tunes. Bring your lunch, grab a friend, and soak up the local music vibe.
As the day winds down, the ECHO Leahy Center for Lake Champlain is swinging its doors open for an evening open house from 5:30 to 8. Enjoy mingling, live music, and a chance to see the latest exhibits by the lake—all with the iconic Burlington backdrop.
For students and families arriving in town, welcome meals will be served across multiple locations from 9 to 3. If you’re looking to connect or find out more about campus activities, stop by and say hello. Meanwhile, those interested in health and science can join the Vermont Tobacco Control Scientific Summit taking place virtually from 9 to noon.
Game night fans might want to head over to Switchback for their weekly Buns and Brew Night; for twelve dollars, you get delicious buns paired with locally brewed craft beer and lots of friendly fun. If trivia is more your style, RiRa’s Trivia Night on Church Street is free and always popular, starting at 7:30 tonight.
Burlington City Arts is opening registration for fall classes today at noon—so if you’re itching to learn pottery, painting, or photography, spots at their studio fill up fast. Church Street Marketplace is also celebrating some of its legendary local businesses that have shaped the heart of Burlington for over twenty-five years, with special nods and community stories featured throughout the pedestrian mall.
For those planning ahead, don’t miss upcoming happenings like the Catamount Kickoff Friday night, a welcome Convocation this Sunday, and activities at Shelburne Farms and Centennial Woods next week. Whether you’re a resident or new arrival, the pulse of Burlington is strong—with plenty of music, art, and flavor to go around.
