Good morning, this is your Burlington Local Frequency for Thursday, September 11, 2025.All around Burlington today, there’s a lively current pulsing through the city as locals embrace the final tastes of summer and the excitement of a new season. Let’s start downtown where the Church Street Marketplace is buzzing with shoppers and street musicians, and later this evening, families can head to City Hall Park for a “Splash Dance” party—perfect for all ages to shake off the school-and-work week in style. Art lovers will want to swing by the Bryan Fine Art Gallery, open until 5, where the local exhibit The Barn Rats showcases up-and-coming Vermont artists next door to homegrown storytellers sharing their latest work.College campuses are waking up too. Champlain College students are celebrating their achievements, with several making the fall honor roll. Over at UVM, the campus calendar is stacked: students and residents alike can watch the anticipated film screening “The Memory of Darkness, Light, and Ice” at the Davis Center or plan to join the conversation with DaShawn Groves on the future of Medicaid—an especially relevant topic for Burlington’s health care advocates—in a virtual event beginning at 2:30 this afternoon. And if you’re craving a good book or an irresistible campus deal, the UVM Bookstore’s Fall Patio Sale kicks off shortly, promising bargains on fan gear, bestsellers, and more.For families searching for adventures, Burlington absolutely delivers. Head to the Family Room’s free playgroup this morning for crafts, games, and snacks, or take little artists to Eat and Be Hoopy for “Little Wings and Apple Things,” a playful paint-and-sip workshop. Just outside town, Shelburne Orchards is now open for the season—grab some cider donuts, take a tractor ride, and fill your tote with crisp apples fresh off the tree. And make a note for the weekend—the orchard’s live music and taco trucks start soon, making it a local must-do.Giving back is in the air as well. Today marks the launch of the Vermont Women’s Mentoring Program at Mercy Connections. They’re seeking volunteers to mentor women reentering the community, providing vital encouragement and guidance. The new training series runs Wednesday nights—no background required, just a willingness to support one another.In broader headlines, the region is keeping a close eye on the pending decision from the US Attorney General regarding whether the prosecution will seek the death penalty in a federal case involving tragic 2023 shootings tied to a former Stowe man. Vermont hasn’t enforced the death penalty since 1954, making this decision one that could resonate throughout our state’s legal and civic landscape.For those observing, community and tradition are strong with Burlington’s Chabad Center offering morning services and welcoming in the Jewish New Year soon. Their message of belonging and togetherness feels especially timely for our city today.And lastly, as leaves start to turn, Burlington serves not just beautiful lake and mountain views, but also a full menu of ways to connect, contribute, and celebrate together. Whether you’re exploring new art, apple picking with your kids, or extending a hand in mentoring, there’s always a way to make today memorable.This has been Burlington Local Frequency.
