Published 1 year ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Burlington Local Frequency for Tuesday, April 1, 2025.
Today marks the beginning of National Arab American Heritage Month, a time to celebrate the rich cultural contributions of Arab Americans to our community. In local government news, Mayor Emma Mulvaney-Stanak recently announced that Shawn Burke will serve as the interim Chief of the Burlington Police Department, effective as of last week.
For those looking to enjoy some entertainment tonight, the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts is hosting a special performance of Jim Henson's Fraggle Rock at 6:00 PM. This live show features beloved characters like Gobo, Red, and Boober Fraggle in a magical adventure to unite the pieces of the Celebration Stone. It promises to be a fun-filled evening for both families and nostalgic fans alike.
In community events, the Emergency Cold Weather Shelter at the Miller Center on Gosse Court remains open, providing a warm space for those in need during these chilly spring nights. If you're interested in staying informed about community development initiatives, remember to subscribe to CEDO updates through the City's Notify Me service.
Looking ahead to this weekend, there are several exciting events on the calendar. The Bloom Flower and Home Market will be setting up at Hula on Saturday, offering a perfect opportunity to spruce up your living space for spring. For those planning their big day, the Burlington VT Wedding Show is happening this Sunday at the DoubleTree by Hilton.
Music lovers won't want to miss the Jukebox: Heavy Metal Strings event at ArtsRiot next Friday, promising an eclectic blend of classical and rock influences. History buffs can enjoy a unique "History in 3-D" presentation at the Winooski Senior Center next Thursday, offering a fresh perspective on our local past.
For the green thumbs among us, Shelburne Farms is hosting a workshop on "Growing an Herbal Tea Garden" in a couple of weeks. It's a great chance to learn how to cultivate your own aromatic brews right at home.
Lastly, don't forget that the Burlington Discover Jazz Festival is on the horizon. While we don't have exact dates yet, it's sure to bring world-class musicians and emerging talents to our city once again, filling our streets with the sounds of jazz.
This has been Burlington Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
