Festive Fridays: Fridays | November 28 - December 19 | 4pm-8pm
The lights are twinkling, the music’s playing, and downtown Burlington is buzzing with holiday cheer! Each Friday evening, Church Street businesses stay open late for holiday shopping, while the Marketplace comes alive with a new festive activation each week, from cozy experiences and local tastings to family fun. Stroll beneath the lights, listen to holiday tunes on the Marketplace speakers, grab a warm drink, and find the perfect gifts for everyone on your list.
Friday, December 19 | 4-8pm: Light Up the Night
The days might be getting darker, but the Marketplace is ready to light up the night with festive cheer! Join RunVermont for a Fun Run kicking off at 5:30pm. Dress in your brightest gear and fill the street with color. Open to all ages. Register here.
Then stick around for the Light Parade at 6 PM, featuring a fleet of decorated trucks showing off their holiday sparkle. From SD Ireland’s glowing cement mixer and Milton Rental’s equipment truck to Troy’s Toy Drive’s festive Ridgeline, Burlington PD’s Emergency Response Vehicle, and more!
