Looking for something fun to do this weekend? Two free community events offer great reasons to get out, enjoy a scenic drive and experience some of what makes Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom so special.
Saturday: Greensboro Art Fest
On Saturday, August 15, the Greensboro community will host its annual Art Fest from 11:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. on the Green at 81 Lauredon Avenue.
More than 20 local artists will display their work alongside live music, arts and crafts, food, drinks and ice cream. Children can participate in hands-on art projects, and free ice cream will be available for kids ages 10 and younger.
Admission is free, making this an easy and affordable outing for the entire family. Greensboro and the surrounding Caspian Lake area also offer some beautiful summer scenery, so take your time and enjoy the ride.
Visit the Vermont Arts Council event page for additional information.
Sunday: Free Live Music at Dog Mountain
The weekend continues Sunday, August 16, when Chambers DesLauriers takes the stage at Dog Mountain in St. Johnsbury. The free concert begins at 5:00 p.m. and is part of the Levitt AMP St. Johnsbury Music Series presented by Catamount Arts.
Featuring Annika Chambers and Paul DesLauriers, the group combines blues, blues-rock and soul with powerful vocals, guitar work and plenty of live energy. Best of all, the concert is open to everyone—including your dog!
Guests are encouraged to bring a lawn chair or blanket, sunscreen, water and a picnic. Local food vendors will be available on-site, along with a beer garden operated by St. Johnsbury Distillery. Outside alcohol is not permitted, and bringing some cash is recommended because not every vendor accepts credit cards.
Parking will be available at the Fairbanks Scales parking lot, with a free Rural Community Transportation shuttle taking concertgoers to the top of Dog Mountain. The shuttle will also make a 4:00 p.m. stop at the St. Johnsbury Welcome Center before returning downtown at approximately 7:30 p.m.
Dog Mountain is located at 143 Parks Road in St. Johnsbury. Complete concert information is available through Catamount Arts.
Enjoy the Road—and Our Community
You do not have to travel far to find great art, music, food and scenery. Whether you spend Saturday exploring Greensboro, Sunday evening listening to live blues at Dog Mountain or make time for both, this weekend is a perfect reminder of how much the Northeast Kingdom has to offer.
All of us at St. Johnsbury Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram are proud to be part of this community. Have a wonderful weekend, drive safely and enjoy everything our corner of Vermont has waiting just down the road!
