Things to do in Burlington, Vermont (VT): The Best Concerts & Shows
Vermont's largest and perhaps most cosmopolitan city, Burlington beckons with the perfect blend of old New England charm, arts, culture and nature. Located on the shores of Lake Champlain, between the Adirondack and Green Mountains, Burlington is one of those places you can't help but fall in love with. During the spring and summer, the streets come alive with festivals and outdoor concerts. The picnic benches, playground and bike paths of Leddy Park are filled with warm weather revelers, and opportunities to swim, fish or just kick back on the beach abound. In the fall, the Burlington Bike Path is bustling with leaf peepers who come to view the vibrant autumn colors. In winter, lace up your ice skates and head to the Paquette Arena or grab your skis and head to any of the nearby resorts. Church Street Marketplace, with its early 1900s architecture, great restaurants, live entertainment, one-of-a-kind shops and well-known stores, is the focal point of the downtown area. Anytime of the year is a good time for chocolate. Be sure to stop by Lake Champlain Chocolates for a tour and taste.

Classic theater in the heart of Burlington. We bought tickets six months in advance and paid extra for near stage seating. Parking is tricky on the street but we parked in the municipal garage (FedEx Building) which is a 5 minute walk and parking was free - just show your Flynn Center ticket. This was our first concert at this venue and we loved it! Theater is gorgeous and the show was packed and performance incredible. We stayed in Waterbury at Best Western Plus which saved a bundle. We'll be back for other concerts. Great evening!

Recently had the opportunity to visit the Vermont Comedy club for the first time. What a great location for an intimate night of stand up comedy, The 2 comedians were great! the Bartenders were fun and knowledgeable about local Spirits, and the waitstaff during the show were efficient, and so quite and quick that they were not a distraction to the show.
