Things To Do

From holiday lights to winter markets and live music, Burlington’s cold‑weather lineup brings the good kind of chill. Stroll the lakefront on the Burlington Bike Path (a.k.a. the Burlington Greenway) or take in sunset views at Waterfront Park. Don’t miss the region’s signature light shows at Winter Lights at Shelburne Museum and Essex Junction’s Winter Lights in the Park. Plus shopping and gifts at the BTV Winter Market. In the heart of downtown, browse and dine along the Church Street Marketplace, pop into local galleries & museums, and catch a show at the Flynn or other music venues.

Winter is also prime time for outdoor play, lace up for public skate at Leddy Arena, make quick day trips to nearby skiing & snowboarding, or find groomed tracks on our cross‑country skiing trails. Prefer a cozy afternoon? Warm up with a flight at local breweries or cideries, sip something hot from our coffee shops & bakeries, or take the kids to ECHO, Leahy Center for Lake Champlain.
