  • Summary

  • Good morning, this is your Burlington Local Frequency for Thursday, February 20, 2025. We're here to bring you the latest updates and happenings in our vibrant city.

    First off, a quick note that the Special Burlington Fire Commission Meeting scheduled for today has been cancelled. If you were planning to attend, make sure to check the city's calendar for future meetings and updates.

    February is a significant month for many reasons, and one of them is Black History Month. This year's theme is "African Americans and Labor," highlighting the invaluable contributions of African Americans to the workforce. It's a time to remember and celebrate significant people, events, and achievements of the African diaspora.

    Looking ahead, Ramadan is just around the corner, starting on the evening of Friday, February 28th and lasting 30 days until sundown on Saturday, March 29. This is a month-long period of fasting and spiritual reflection for Muslims, and we wish everyone observing this holiday a peaceful and reflective time.

    Now, let's talk about some fun events happening in Burlington. If you're looking for something to do today, why not check out the Family Fun Night at Ralph's? It's happening from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM, and admission includes access to the whole Sports Center facility for just $10 for non-members.

    If you're planning ahead, mark your calendars for the Hotel Vermont Ice Bar in March, a premier winter event that's sure to be a hit. And if you're a music lover, don't miss the Grand Point North Music Festival, which is coming back to Burlington later this year.

    For those who enjoy a mix of art, comedy, food, and drink, Waking Windows is a three-day festival in Winooski that you won't want to miss. It's happening in early May, so start making your plans now.

    And let's not forget about the Burlington Discover Jazz Festival, a beloved annual celebration of jazz that brings world-class musicians and emerging talents to our city.

    Before we wrap up, a quick note about the weather. If you're traveling, be aware that big snowfalls are causing headaches in nearby areas like Tupper Lake, so plan your trips accordingly.

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