Throughout the year there are many special events and festivals held right here in Burlington!   To enjoy the special events fully we encourage you to:

  • ImageLook for event details in City Update in the Burlington Post.
  • For larger events use alternate means of transportation as parking may be limited.  Shuttle service is often provided.
  • Leave your four legged friends at home for their comfort and for event participants. Events may be crowded and hot and water and shade may not be available for your pet.
  • Don't forget the sunscreen and bug repellent for outdoor events.

Many events are organized by volunteer committees and non-profit agencies and we encourage you to get involved as a volunteer yourself.
