Autumn in Burlington: BTV Bike Park, Farmers Market, Film Fest, and More
Published 6 months ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Burlington Local Frequency for Saturday, October 25, 2025.
As the sun rises over Lake Champlain and the crisp fall air sets the mood, there’s a palpable buzz in Burlington today. The spotlight shines on Leddy Park, where the city debuts the new BTV Bike Park with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10 a.m. Cyclists of all ages have a fresh destination, and anticipation is high for what could become a hub for the local biking community. If you’ve been itching to hit some freshly laid trails or are just curious about the city’s latest outdoor space, Leddy Park is the place to be this morning.
Hungry after that ride? The Burlington Farmers Market brings its signature array of seasonal produce, artisan foods, and crafts from 9 to 2 downtown. Between crunchy apples, hot cider, and handbaked breads, there’s something for every palate, and it’s a gathering spot where neighbors reconnect over autumn harvests.
Film lovers, take note — the Vermont International Film Festival is rolling through its final weekend, hosting screenings at Main Street Landing and Film House. Today’s program features indie shorts, documentaries, and the locally buzzed-about film Calle Malaga at 7 p.m. This is your chance to catch boundary-pushing cinema and maybe rub elbows with the filmmakers themselves.
If symphonic sounds are more your tune, the Vermont Symphony Orchestra presents Pastorale Symphony at Flynn Center for the Performing Arts this evening. Patrons can also enjoy a pre-concert wine tasting, making for an elegant night out rooted in Burlington’s appreciation for the arts.
Halloween spirits are in full swing across town. Take the family to Howl’ween, a free animal-friendly festival at noon, or plan a costume stroll later in Winooski, where Halloween in Winooski runs from 4 to 9 with trick-or-treating, parades, and local music.
For those craving laughter, Sam Tallent headlines at the Vermont Comedy Club tonight at both 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. His quick wit and absurd humor promise an upbeat capstone to any Saturday night. Improv enthusiasts might try their skills — the Club keeps the fun rolling after every show with an open jam.
If you’re hoping for something more interactive, check out Vermont Tech Jam downtown from 10 to 3, where local innovators showcase tech achievements, or jump into the weekly board game night from 6 to 10 where gamers of all stripes gather over everything from classics to quirky new releases.
On the sports front, UVM Women’s Ice Hockey is celebrating a triumphant win over Franklin Pierce, continuing their streak and providing plenty of pride for Catamount fans. Looking ahead, Robertpalooza brings high-energy performance to Higher Ground tomorrow, setting the tone for a lively Sunday.
Whatever your interests — fitness, food, films, or festivities — Burlington delivers today. From community art studios and outdoor adventures to music and maple, the city’s signature blend of creativity and connection is on full display.
This has been Burlington Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
