Good morning, this is your Burlington Local Frequency for Thursday, September 25, 2025. As fall sweeps across Vermont and the first hints of orange and gold grace our trees, Burlington’s calendar is overflowing with art, music, and a true sense of community.The buzz downtown this week comes from the reopening of Burlington Square, formerly known as CityPlace. Years in the making, the project is finally welcoming visitors and promising to inject new energy into the city’s core. Local businesses are eagerly anticipating increased foot traffic, and everyone is hoping this new hub will help revitalize the local economy and breathe life into our struggling retail scene.For art lovers, September’s most celebrated event wrapped up just days ago—the South End Art Hop. Thousands converged on Pine Street to meet artists, sample local bites, and discover work from both rising stars and established talents. If you missed it, you’ll still find some gallery spaces featuring special exhibitions all week, so stop in after work and get inspired for the season ahead.The Burlington Baroque Festival has drawn music aficionados from around the region. Last weekend, College Street Congregational Church was filled with extraordinary melodies from international artists and local ensembles. Even though the main performances have concluded, festival organizers are donating part of their proceeds to Spectrum Youth & Family Services, continuing to support teens and families right here at home.As we head into the final weekend of September, the options for things to do bloom like late-season asters. You can head south to the Peru Fair, a beloved old-fashioned country festival known for crafts, fun food, and the quirky “End of the World Tag Sale.” If you’re craving cider, hayrides, or craft booths closer to home, keep Underhill’s Old Fashioned Harvest Market and Bristol’s Harvest Festival on your radar for Saturday. Expect live music, local treats, and plenty of activities for kids and adults alike.In city government news, Burlington Police are still managing the aftermath of a tense standoff earlier this week. It began with a troubled resident’s escalating behavior and ended after a nine-hour confrontation, tear gas deployment, and gunfire. Thankfully, no neighbors were physically harmed, though many were displaced for almost a full day. Vermont State Police have an ongoing investigation, and city officials urge everyone to check official channels for updates. It’s a reminder of the challenges first responders face and the importance of supporting our community in difficult moments.On the lighter side, farmers’ markets are bursting with crisp apples, pumpkins, and kale. Now is the perfect time to pick up fresh produce before the frost and relish the flavors of local harvest. Grab a maple latte, celebrate the changing season, and remember—fall in Burlington means fewer tourists and more time for locals to enjoy.Thank you for tuning in.
