Events In Burlington

Fall in Burlington isn’t just a season — it’s a change of pace with its own energy. Things kick off in late August with the Champlain Valley Fair (August 22–31, 2025), ten days of rides, concerts, fair food, and that end-of-summer excitement that leads right into fall. In early September, the South End Art Hop(September 5–7) turns the neighborhood into a creative playground with open studios, pop-up galleries, and outdoor performances. As the leaves start to turn, harvest festivals and farmers markets fill with apples, pumpkins, and fresh local produce. Beer lovers won’t want to miss Oktoberfest Vermont , where you can sample seasonal brews, ciders, and classic Bavarian fare with Lake Champlain as your backdrop. Concerts, craft fairs, and other fall celebrations round out the season, offering plenty of reasons to get outside and soak it all in.
