Anything going on this weekend in Burlington?
Save

My wife and I will be in Burlington this weekend for a concert on Saturday night and was wondering if there is any events going on Saturday during the day? We both love food (I love beer so I know I'll find plenty of options, she 's more of a wine drinker so I have the winery on our list), live music and festivals of any kind. Any special events going on or places that have live bands during the day?

Going to see Toots & the Maytalls?

The last outdoor Farmer's Market of the season is going on earlier in the day in City Hall Park near Church Street and Main. It's a fun event to walk around and sample different food and drinks. As you know, lots of places to get beer in Burlington. There's a number of breweries along Pine Street just south of downtown. My wife is more of a wine drinker as well, but enjoys the hard ciders that have become real popular lately, and Citizens Cider on Pine Street is a good place to test some out. I can't think of any live music during the day. This is late in the year for festivals. We have one just about every weekend all summer long and into September but not this time of year.

If you're late night people, last call downtown is 2 a.m. If you are at Higher Ground, it's a quick cab ride down, most shows there are done by 11:30 or so. Nectar's usually has live music on Saturdays and isn't totally flooded by college students like some of the other bars on Saturday nights.

You are correct...Toots...how did you guess? haha

Thanks for the nectar's recommendation (I was looking for a later place that wouldn't be filled with college kids on Halloween weekend) and the farmers market info. If there's one thing my wife likes more than wine it's a good farmers market...wait...who am I kidding...she likes wine more :o)

Halvorsen's & Leunig's (both on Church St) often have live music on the weekends as well. Leunig's is a nice upscale place. Halvorsen's is a local bar that's been there for decades.

Halvorson's and Leunig's are more restaurants than bars and closed by 10 or 11 at the latest, well before the Higher Ground show will end.

True. Since the OP asked for stuff during the day.... these are good for pre-game. :)
