Vermont’s Statewide Events

Gather together to watch as live music lights up historic downtowns and waterfronts, treat the whole family to a Vermont fair or festival as foliage bursts forth, or get outside in the winter for carnival activities like ice carving and snow volleyball. An event in the Green Mountains is an experience worth planning your trip around.
