Good morning, this is your Burlington Local Frequency for Thursday, October 16th, 2025. The autumn colors are still painting the city with those iconic oranges and reds, and Burlington is absolutely bursting with things to do and stories to share today.First up on campus, the University of Vermont is in high gear with events for everyone in the community. Starting at 10:30 this morning, there’s Play Attention, a unique blend of neuro arts and relaxation—a perfect midweek reset. Later, from 11 to 4:30, the student center invites you to take a breather. If you’re curious about legal education, there’s a Harvard Law information session at noon, and at 3, student transfers will be setting off on a scavenger hunt to get to know their new home. If reflective conversations are more your speed, tonight’s Dinner and Dialogue Series at 5:30 at the Interfaith Center tackles the big question: What does faith have to do with the environment?For live entertainment lovers, the Flynn Center is putting on a double bill of magic tonight. Margaret Cho brings her razor-sharp wit to the main stage, promising an evening of laughter and perspective, while ballet fans can enter a world of enchantment with The Sleeping Beauty.
