Episode Synopsis

Good morning, this is your Burlington Local Frequency for Thursday, October 23, 2025.Burlington is buzzing today as the crisp fall air brings a perfect blend of new energy and hometown traditions. Let’s kick things off with a look at the morning. If you’re around South Burlington, grab your fill of sweet treats at the Mugs and Muffins Pop-Up from eight to nine thirty. Whether you need a breakfast boost or just want to support a great cause, the coffee is hot and the smiles are free. Later in the morning, you’ll find a special chemistry seminar featuring Dr. Aylin Aykanat for anyone craving some molecular inspiration at UVM.Techies and career builders, get ready — Vermont’s annual Tech Jam returns this Saturday at Hula, our lakeside gem in the South End. The Tech Jam is the place to meet local innovators, scout jobs, and explore the future of Vermont’s tech scene. Tours of Hula run at twelve fifteen and two fifteen Saturday, and don’t forget to prep your résumé and your best pitch. Highlights this year include hands-on demos, immersive digital experiences, free résumé reviews, and a BETA Technologies flight simulator. There’s even a session at one o’clock called “The AI Will See You Now” for those curious about artificial intelligence in local health care. Catch a latte at Brio and snap a selfie with the Tech Jam mascot for some fun between events[1][5].Burlington is also embracing its artsy side with the Vermont International Film Festival running through October twenty-sixth at Main Street Landing. Tonight’s standouts feature a late-night screening of “Fucktoys,” the campy and provocative directorial debut from Burlington native Annapurna Sriram, at nine thirty. The festival is filling a gap left by the closure of beloved Roxy cinema, so expect buzzing conversations about film and community this week[1][11][12].If you want to move, there’s Pilates at six, live jazz from Alex Stewart and Friends at seven, and a showcase set from Esther Rose and Jobi Riccio at Higher Ground later tonight. For mind sport competitors, tonight’s pub quiz is always lively and trivia night lights up Church Street Marketplace — grab dinner and join in for a spirited evening downtown[2][9].Farm fresh goodness continues with the Burlington Farmers Market on Saturday from nine until two, packed with local produce and hand-crafted treats. Families, don’t miss Howl’ween at noon in Burlington on Saturday for costumed pups and spooky fun. Winooski joins the Halloween excitement this weekend with a free, family-friendly bash from four to nine on Saturday and Halloween magic at its farmers market on Sunday[2].On the civic front, Ward 8 neighbors can join tonight’s NPA meeting at six thirty, a chance to stay informed and help shape local initiatives[7]. Meanwhile, ongoing talks center around UVM’s new Biolabs Innovation Center and the university’s big bet on biotech, reflecting a wave of discovery and economic optimism in the city[1].Hoop fans, the UVM men’s basketball team is tipped to win America East this season. Locals are hopeful the Catamounts can live up to the hype and bring home some big wins[4].For a change of pace, consider a downtown ghost tour with eerie tales that walk you through Burlington’s haunted history. It’s a spine-tingling way to see the city in a new light as Halloween approaches[6]. And if you’re seeking moments of calm, Burlington’s enchanting Candlelight classical concerts are offering tributes to music legends in intimate settings around town this month[15].That’s a full slate of local happenings, but remember — with the federal government’s shutdown still looming, some food aid programs could see disruptions next week. Officials are urging Vermonters to check their balances soon and plan ahead for grocery trips[1].This has been Burlington Local Frequency.
