  • Good morning, this is your Burlington Local Frequency for March 1, 2025.

    As we welcome the first day of March, Burlington is buzzing with activity. The annual Burlington Irish Heritage Festival kicks off today, running through March 17th. Expect a lively lineup of events including music workshops, dances, singalongs, and live concerts throughout the city.

    For beer enthusiasts, Foam Brewers on the Burlington Waterfront is hosting Soul Porpoise tonight at 8 PM. The band will be laying down some funky organ-driven tunes inspired by artists like Stevie Wonder and Dr. John. It's a free event, so grab your friends and head down for some great music and craft brews.

    Looking ahead to tomorrow, Foam Brewers will continue the weekend festivities with a performance by local folk singer-songwriters Reid Parsons and Jeff Wilson at 1 PM. They'll be treating listeners to original music along with contemporary and old-time covers.

    In other news, the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets is investing in Vermont's food and forests. While details are still emerging, this initiative aims to support local agriculture and sustainable forestry practices.

    For those interested in civic engagement, remember that Town Meeting Day is coming up on March 4th. Early voting at City Hall ends at noon on March 3rd, and absentee ballots can be placed in the drop box at City Hall through March 4th at 4 PM.

    On a less positive note, a recent DUI incident occurred in Burlington. On January 8th, a 23-year-old Winooski resident was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence after failing to stop at a red light and striking a police cruiser. This serves as a reminder to always drive responsibly and never get behind the wheel while impaired.

    As we move further into March, keep an eye out for signs of spring. While technically still winter, you might start noticing earlier sunrises, swelling buds on trees, and the distinct smell of maple syrup in the air. It's a great time to explore the outdoors and appreciate the changing seasons in our beautiful city.

    This has been Burlington Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
