Episode Synopsis
Good morning, this is your Burlington Local Frequency for Thursday, October 2nd. The city is waking up to a crisp fall morning, and there’s plenty happening in our vibrant community. If you’re in the North District, the Mayor is hosting a meet-up at Bagel Cafe this morning, so if you have a burning local issue or just want a good cup of coffee with your civic talk, that’s the place to start your day. Elsewhere, those observing Yom Kippur can join a morning service at Main Street Landing. This event is open to all and is wheelchair accessible—there’s even a youth program—making sure the whole family can take part in this day of reflection and community.Today, art lovers and families can head over to the ECHO Leahy Center to catch the Animationland exhibit, running from 10 to 5. It’s a hands-on, interactive show that really brings the magic of animation to life for visitors young and old. If you’re more the musical type, mark your calendar for tonight: The Blackburn Brothers will be performing live at Retro Live, offering up a soulful set that’s perfect for kicking off your weekend early.Keep an eye on City Hall as Burlington’s ban on public nudity is now official, with new fines coming into play later this month. The city’s effort reflects a broader push for community standards. On the administrative side, there’s tension brewing—Governor Phil Scott’s proposed return-to-office order has met strong opposition, with thousands of workers pushing back and calling for more flexibility. It’s a conversation that’s affecting both public service and daily life for many Burlington residents.On the arts and culture front, local nonprofits are sharing how planned giving shapes Burlington’s future, supporting everything from libraries and music schools to food banks—a testament to how community planning pays off for generations. If you have kids or know a talented youth, auditions are open for the Spectacular Spectacular Talent Showcase; top acts will get to perform at Higher Ground in December, so now’s the moment to send in those audition videos.Those seeking a night out can look forward to the Mystical Market at Oakledge Park coming up Friday, October 17. There’ll be local artists, astrologers, tarot readers, great food, and a live DJ—all set against the beauty of Lake Champlain at sunset. The city’s restaurant scene is evolving too: Philo Ridge Farm has reopened as a nonprofit with acclaimed chef Marc St. Jacques at the helm, promising farm-focused cuisine and a new community dining experience.Finally, in state news, the Vermont Roman Catholic Diocese in Burlington is still navigating bankruptcy, driven by ongoing legal settlements. Staff have had their workweek cut, and parishioners are being asked to help cover costs—another chapter in a lengthy legal and financial saga that’s felt across the region.That’s it for today’s Burlington Local Frequency. We hope you get out, connect, and enjoy everything our city has to offer. This has been Burlington Local Frequency.
