Forest Festival
Free Event. Fee required for guided hikes. Visit Recreation.gov to sign up for a guided hike.
Take a horse-drawn wagon ride, try your hand at woodworking, or explore the forest on a guided nature walk. Witness the whole forest product cycle in action, from horse-logging, to board cutting with a portable sawmill to woodcraft demonstrations. Visit activity hubs to meet members of the Abenaki community, local artisans, and outreach partners.
Live Music from The Slow Cookers 12pm-2pm: The Slow Cookers' collection of folksy covers will warm your heart, nourish your soul, and satiate your appetite. The group of friends started playing on local Burlington porches and have since brought their wide array of acoustic instruments to farmers' markets, bicycle fundraisers, and hometown bars throughout the state. Their setlists cross multiple genres and they guarantee there's a song for everyone to dance, sing, or smile along to.
