Midwinter arts, music, and wildlife in Burlington: Your Saturday city update
Published 3 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Burlington Local Frequency for Saturday, January 10, 2026.
If you are waking up in Burlington today, it is a great day to lean into winter and the local arts scene. As you plan your day, remember that our farmers and food system are still bouncing back from last year’s severe drought, which hit Vermont crops and livestock hard and continues to shape prices and availability at local markets and co-ops[1]. Choosing local produce, dairy, and meat where you can genuinely helps producers still recovering from that tough season[1].
For tonight, music lovers have some standout options. Over on Pearl Street, the First Unitarian Universalist Society hosts a Candlelight concert featuring the music of Coldplay and Imagine Dragons at 7 p.m., with the historic sanctuary lit by flickering candles for a cozy midwinter vibe and tickets starting around the high-forties[2]. Down on the waterfront, Foam Brewers keeps things local with a free 8 p.m. show from the Dave Grippo – Bruce Sklar Quintet, a collaboration between Vermont jazz veterans built around expressive, improvisation‑driven jazz, all with a view of the lake if you feel like braving the cold for a stroll before or after the set[4].
If your idea of Saturday night leans more toward dancing than sitting, Rí Rá on Church Street is bringing in a live DJ starting at 10 p.m., spinning current hits late into the night and giving downtown a lively, big‑city energy right in the heart of Burlington[6].
Looking a bit beyond today, the Burlington City calendar is packed with winter happenings, including upcoming meetings of the Wild Burlington Society, which dives into topics like the city’s dramatic winter crow roost, a reminder that our urban wildlife is every bit as fascinating as what you see in the mountains or on the lake[7]. Over at UVM, the events calendar points to a run of winter programs later this month, from wellness and goal‑setting workshops to a Winter ActivitiesFest designed to get students and community members outside and moving when the days are short[9].
If you are up for a short drive, regional arts and music events around Vermont today include gallery shows in Burlington City Arts’ winter exhibition lineup, plus chamber music and comedy offerings in nearby towns, giving you plenty of excuses to make a day trip and still be home before the roads ice up[8].
This has been Burlington Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
