Festival of Fools This Weekend!

Looking for something really fun to do this weekend? Downtown Burlington will be the epicenter of more laughs and applause per minute than anywhere in the world with an international cast of circus performers, variety acts, and musicians performing for the lucky festival-goers attending the 17th Annual Festival of Fools! Big thanks to Burington City Arts for the amazing ride, now in our 17th year! We just won a Seven Daysies reader's choice award for "Best Family-Friendly Festival in Vermont." It's free admission, but audiences are keen on tipping!

This year's lineup is one of our strongest ever, featuring performers from England, Canada, Japan, Germany, NYC, Las Vegas, L.A., Colorado, and Vermont. And don't miss one of the most amazing dog shows of all time, "Mutts Gone Nuts!" Bark, bark! Check out: vtfools.com for all the info you'll need!
