More Than A Market: Champlain College's 9th Annual Local History Event on May 25

Please join us for "More Than A Market" on Wednesday May 25 from 7:00-9:00 PM. For generations, neighborhood groceries, bakeries, and butcher shops have formed the heart of Burlington and Winooski's communities. From the mid-1800s to mid-1900s, French Canadian, Italian, Irish, Lebanese, Jewish, and German markets were concentrated in Burlington's Old North End and Lakeside neighborhoods and near the mills in Winooski. Since the 1980s, immigrants from Vietnam, Bosnia, Bhutan, and Eastern and Western Africa have carried on this entrepreneurial tradition. Learn more about the vibrant role these neighborhood markets have played at Champlain College's Local History Event, which will feature a talk by Charlotte Barrett titled "More Than A Market: Food, Community and Family in the Markets of Burlington and Winooski, Vermont."

This free public event will be held at Champlain College's Center for Communication and Creative Media at 375 Maple Street. In accordance with the College's COVID guidelines, all those in attendance must be masked and fully vaccinated. Guests will need to complete a vaccination self-attestation form prior to admittance.
