The Festival of Fools!

Past event
Aug 2, 12 PM to 12 PM, Aug 4, 2024

Burlington City Arts' Daysies Award-winning Festival of Fools is just days away!

Presented by Community Bank, the 17th annual Festival brings to town dozens of world-class street performers and musicians, including Jupiter & Okwess, Moon Hooch, Mutts Gone Nuts, PuppetKabob, The Arc Benders Circus Opera, and so many more!

Make the most of your Fools weekend by checking the online schedule, downloading the BCA events app, picking up a daily paper schedule from our info booth, and checking the chalkboard in front of the BCA Center on Church Street.

How does it work? Busking starts at noon on Friday and the festivities continue until the Last Laugh Variety show on Sunday night, with special concerts, events, and pop-up opportunities throughout the weekend.

All of this tremendous programming is completely free and open to everyone! Indulge in the community-building magic of the live arts. More info is at vtfools.org!
