Live Out Loud
Sunday 13
LGBTQ+ revelers and allies show up for visibility and equality at the Pride Vermont Parade & Festival in downtown Burlington.

Yolanda.
Spreading Roots
Thursday 10
The Ben & Jerry’s Concerts on the Green series brings Lukas Nelson & Molly Tuttle — two of modern roots music’s hottest names — to Shelburne Museum for a powerful performance of heartfelt vocals, masterful flatpicking and soul-baring lyrics. Expect expansive Americana sounds that run the gamut from compelling countrified ballads to hard-driving bluesy anthems.
Pawsitive Vibes
Saturday 12
Pints and paws align for a cause at Stowe Cider, where the Walk for Animals gathers Good Samaritans for a day of cider sipping, live tunes, bites and a silent auction to benefit North Country Animal League. Whether walking in honor of a precious pet or simply showing up to offer support, participation helps the nonprofit provide critical resources to the region’s furry four-legged friends.
Something Sweet
Friday 11
Complex three-part harmonies fill the Double E Theater in Essex as folk trio the Sweet Remains resurrect the evocative sounds of 1970s supergroups such as Crosby, Stills & Nash and Simon & Garfunkel. Bonus for local listeners: Band member Rich Price — known for writing the single “I’m On My Way” from the Shrek 2 soundtrack — hails from Vermont’s own Queen City.
Morning Glory
Friday 11
At Spruce Peak Arts in Stowe, alt-pop singer and multi-instrumentalist Pete Yorn doles out indie magic with a concert celebrating the 25th anniversary of his acclaimed debut album, musicforthemorningafter. Often ranked among the top songwriters of his generation, Yorn made waves in 2009 with a musical collab featuring A-list actor (and remarkably deft vocalist) Scarlett Johansson.
Paint the Town
Friday 11-Sunday 13
The 34th annual South End Art Hop transforms Burlington’s South End Arts District into a buzzing hive of activity highlighting the interdependence of artists and businesses in the region. Two miles of open doors at more than 100 locations beckon aesthetes to peek, peruse and purchase locally crafted treasures.
Goblin Glam
Wednesday 16
Nobody did glam rock quite like the late, great David Bowie. At New Hampshire’s Lebanon Opera House, a live band backs the English icon’s singular vocals at a special presentation of Jim Henson’s Labyrinth: In Concert. Superfans of the 1986 cult-classic film revel in the Goblin King’s gravity-defying hair and Henson’s elaborate (and CGI-free) creatures on the silver screen once again.
