Good morning, this is your Burlington Local Frequency for Saturday, November 8th, 2025.It’s a chilly November Saturday, and downtown Burlington is alive with things to see, do, and celebrate. Sports fans are still buzzing after a nail-biting finish last night at Gutterson Fieldhouse, where the Vermont Catamounts men’s hockey team fell 2-1 to seventeenth-ranked Boston College. The Catamounts will be back on the ice tonight at 7 p.m. for another faceoff against BC, and if you bring a non-perishable food item for the Can for Coffee Food Drive, you’ll score a box of coffee and a shot at winning a brand-new brewer, all while supporting the Josh Pallotta Fund.If you’re looking for a different kind of live action, high school football semifinals are lighting up fields across the state today. The energy is high and fans are hoping for a big finish that could shape the finals—so check out the latest matchups online or join the local excitement at a nearby game.The arts and music scene is in full swing tonight. At 7 p.m., Foam Brewers welcomes the Eugene Tyler Band and Up North for a free show that promises high-energy bluegrass grit by the waterfront.
