Good morning, this is your Burlington Local Frequency for Saturday, October 11, 2025.We’ve got plenty for you to get out and enjoy around town today, starting with a brisk fall morning. If you’re up early and looking for a peaceful start, Morning Prayer with Green Mountain Abbey is happening from 8 to 8:30 at the local Episcopal venue—a gentle way to slow down before a busy weekend. After that, things pick up quickly. Burlington’s streets are buzzing with anticipation for the Vermont Catamounts men’s soccer match this evening. The Catamounts, still riding high after their championship win, host UMass Lowell at Virtue Field. Kickoff is at 6 p.m., and with the Catamounts on a 22-game unbeaten streak, it’s bound to be a fierce contest that will have soccer fans on the edge of their seats.Culture lovers, this is a weekend you won’t want to miss.
