Holiday Hustle and Cozy Crafts: Your Burlington Roundup for December 17th
Published 4 months, 1 week ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Burlington Local Frequency for Wednesday, December seventeenth.
Downtown is waking up to a full slate of holiday hustle today, and if you still have shopping to do, you are in luck. Over at Hula on Lakeside Avenue, the Good Trade Makers Market is in year end celebration mode, bringing together more than 90 independent makers and manufacturers under one roof. With your entry you get a drink ticket toward a beer, cocktail, or nonalcoholic beverage, so you can sip while you browse everything from handmade goods to small batch treats, all right on the Burlington waterfront.
If you are looking for something more low key and crafty this afternoon, Temple Sinai’s Knitzvah Group meets from 12:30 to 2:30 on Swift Street in South Burlington. It is a social knitting circle with a purpose, where stitchers work on projects that support the community, and newcomers are welcome to bring their yarn and join in.
On the arts side, the Vermont International Film Festival is in its final stretch at Main Street Landing’s Film House on the waterfront, wrapping up its December run with screenings that spotlight independent films and global stories. It is a great excuse to duck into a dark theater, warm up, and support one of Burlington’s signature cultural institutions.
Music fans may want to plan ahead a bit: Friday night, the First Unitarian Universalist Society on Pearl Street hosts Candlelight Christmas Carols on Strings, a classical style concert where seasonal favorites are performed by string musicians in a glowing, intimate setting. And at the Flynn, Hadestown is in town this week, adding Broadway energy to downtown with its folk opera spin on the Orpheus myth.
For nightlife tonight, South Burlington has you covered: Canadian roots rock band Bywater Call hits the stage at Higher Ground’s Showcase Lounge at 7:30. Expect bluesy vocals, big horns, and a good midweek crowd.
On campus, the University of Vermont has staff council meetings and gatherings today in the Waterman Building, a reminder that while students turn toward exams and holidays, the business of the university keeps humming along behind the scenes.
And a quick statewide note with local impact: Vermont’s share of the new Extreme Cold Weather Shelter Program includes Burlington, adding backup capacity for unhoused neighbors when temperatures plunge, an important piece of the winter safety net.
This has been Burlington Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
