This summer, there’s a new reason to raise a glass downtown—and it comes with a bingo card.Starting July 18th, 20 Burlington bars and restaurants are teaming up for a city-wide celebration of sunshine, sips, and spontaneous connection. It’s called Spritz Summer Bingo, and it’s bringing the heat (and the Aperol) to your favorite local haunts. The concept is simple—and seriously fun. Here’s how it works
Sip: Order any Aperol drink at a participating location.
Stamp: Get your bingo card stamped on the spot.
Win: Complete five in a row (or go for the whole board!) and enter to win a sweet
Aperol Prize Pack each week (including, a tee, tote, towel, and sunnies to name a few). Think of it as a summer-long happy hour scavenger hunt—minus the pressure, plus plenty of chances to discover new spots, run into old friends, and support the places that make Burlington Burlington.
The campaign runs from July 18th through September 13th, with social hours happening along the way. Whether you’re team classic spritz or curious about a new twist on the iconic orange drink, you’ll find something worth toasting to. And yes—this is more than just a clever excuse to drink something bubbly. As downtown businesses continue to rebuild after a tough stretch, Spritz Summer is a
grassroots effort to bring the buzz back to Burlington in the most joyful way possible. With over 80,000 combined social followers across participating venues, it’s a true community moment—and a reason to show up.
So grab your friends. Grab a card. And get ready to spritz your way through summer. ☀️ Cheers to connection, celebration, and community—one stamp at a time. Follow @HelloBurlingtonVT and participating bars on Instagram to stay in the loop on where to sip next.
