WINTER EVENTS IN BURLINGTON
DEC / JAN / FEB
Bundle up, and enjoy the beauty of a snowcapped city as the festivities are just beginning. From Penguin Plunges into the freezing waters of Lake Champlain, to downtown Ice Bars uniting the community in nights of celebration. The winter in Burlington is full of unique events to keep you busy through the winter months.
Starting with Highlight, Burlington’s New Year’s Celebration is a night of fun for the entire family. Hosting downtown shows along the Church Street Marketplace, engaging entertainment for both youth and adults, and a special firework show to help ring in the new year.
When the second weekend in February comes around, it’s worth checking out the Lake Champlain Pond Hockey Classic in Mallett’s Bay, and you will experience a true Vermont tradition. Every year, hundreds of teams from around the world gather together along the iced-up waters of Lake Champlain to compete in the Labatt Pond Hockey Classic. Over the same weekend, Hotel Vermont teams up with local restaurants, breweries, and distilleries to throw the best Ice Bar in the North! The Hotel Vermont Ice Bar is an event you will not want to miss!

The Spring in Burlington is a great time to get outside after the long winter months. Historically, Memorial Day Weekend is a great way to kick off Spring and Summer in the city, as outdoor dining becomes an option at the best local restaurants, and the entertainment is easy to find.
Through the dog days of summer, much time is often spent by the beautiful lakes and rivers trying to stay cool. However, as the sun goes down the evening events begin their festivities. From weekly Vineyard Concert Series set along the quaint hillsides of the Lake Champlain Islands, to downtown Brewers Festivals on the Burlington Waterfront.
The fall is a beautiful time to be exploring the Green Mountain State. Autumn is a true vibe, as the trees slowly begin their fiery transformation, illuminating the hillsides and creating the picturesque Vermont backdrop. The fun is just starting to begin.
