Downtown Montpelier will be hoppin’ with the Gear Makers Festival, Onion River Outdoors’ Muddy Onion bike ride, and the first Montpelier MudFest! Local restaurants will be open for lunch and beer will be on tap. Bring your torn puffy coats, broken zippers, blown-out seams and more to get repaired while you browse. RSVP and get entered to win a free event poster print!
