Good morning, this is your Burlington Local Frequency for Thursday, November 13, 2025.There’s a distinct chill in the air as Burlington wakes up, with a sense of early winter settling in. If you’re heading downtown, you might notice volunteers and aid groups at City Hall Park handing out blankets and sleeping bags as local nonprofits rally to help our unhoused neighbors brace for the freezing nights ahead. This year marks the first winter in more than a decade without a drop-in shelter for people who aren’t sober, and the city’s efforts to expand shelter beds continue, but supply remains critically short. Nonprofits like COTS and CVOEO are working non-stop, opening new spaces in hopes of keeping as many folks as possible out of the cold. If you’re looking to lend a helping hand, winter gear donations remain in high demand.Turning to things to do and places to be, there’s no shortage of events around town today. For those craving an energetic start, the UVM campus is hosting a “Week of Kindness” pop-up with the Student Government Association, inviting everyone to come by early for thank you notes and free coffee. If you enjoy thought-provoking discussion, the Interfaith Center's Dinner and Dialogue kicks off at 5:30, exploring what mindfulness can do for you. Later, at 6, Main Street Landing’s Great Room hosts the Doug Crowell Lecture, featuring a deep dive into the world of innovative floating wetlands—streaming is available if you’d rather keep cozy at home.Foodies and bookworms alike will be drawn to Church Street Marketplace, bustling as always with local shops and eateries. This evening, Phoenix Books welcomes fans of sci-fi and fantasy for an authors' panel at 7, a great spot to meet Vermont writers and discover new favorites. If live theater is your passion, don’t miss “A Chorus Line” at 7:30, showing at a local stage with seats still available. For those looking for musical entertainment, Ri Ra’s pub karaoke gets underway at 10, so warm up your vocal cords and let loose.Tonight also brings civic engagement opportunities, with the Ward 2 Neighborhood Planning Assembly meeting at 6:30 for residents who want their voices heard on more local issues. From beading workshops honoring Native American Heritage Month to a Queen City ghost walk, there are plenty of options to learn, connect, and unwind.Looking ahead, the weekend promises more music, sports, and community, with the Vermont Youth Orchestra and folk music gatherings, as well as hockey games and networking hours. Whether you’re new in town or a lifelong resident, Burlington’s spirit shines through its bustling events and collective care for community—especially when times get tough.This has been Burlington Local Frequency.
