Burlington Sound of Music Festival

 

Summer is just around the corner! The weather has been fantastic and everyone is now gearing up for cottage season. I love summer in Burlington. The lake, rowing on the rivers, the hiking, and the crowds of happy people socailizing outside is just amazing!

The first sign of summer in Burlington is our Sound of Music Festival.

My kids used to love going to down Spencer Smith Park with their friends to enjoy it, it always marked the end of school! Now they love taking their kids there. ??There is just so much to see and do for everyone in the family and it really brings our community together. More people visit this festival every year than live in our city!! Last year’s attendance for the 9 days was roughly 230,000 people! Which means it is drawing in lots of tourists and boasts over 100 talented acts, plenty of whom perform voluntarily or for a modest fee.

Bringing such an event to Burlington every year since 1980 has definitely helped put our city on the map, making it not only a great place to live, but a choice place for out of town visitors.
