Events & Festivals

Celebrating the 21th Anniversary of the Vermont Crafts Council. Most Vermont craftspeople work in studios located in or close to their residences. These are places of production and inspiration located in downtowns as well as at the ends of dirt roads. Wherever their locations, they are exciting places to visit because they reflect the dynamic yet organized process that is used to produce the finished work of art.

The studio itself is enormously informative because you can see at a glance how the artist works. You see the swatches that have not been chosen for the quilt or the work that is experimental or not serious enough for the gallery. Buying or ordering work during an Open Studio sale is a unique experience because you have the opportunity to speak to the artist directly.

The Open Studio Weekend was named one of the Top Ten Summer Events in a competition sponsored by the Vermont Chamber of Commerce in 1997.

Vermont's Spring Adventure is open for the summer season with 22 rides & Attractions for every member of the family. The park will be open weekends and holidays Starting Memorial Day Weekend.

You can also party on our Sun Deck with great food and drink specials weekly from 5 p.m. 'til close.

The Sixth Annual Bennington Triumph Bash is a grassroots, independent rally for Triumph motorcycle owners by Triumph motorcycle owners.

This event has been going on since 2008 because we figured it was time for us Triumph riders to have a rally just as riders of other marques have had for years. Discussions ensued on various online motorcycle forums, especially TriumphRAT.net, and the idea gained a lot of traction. The very first year, we were thrilled to have an extremely successful event with participants from across North America. People had such a great time that there was immediate buzz about doing it again the next year, and the same has happened each year since. What started out as a vague notion of a small get-together has turned into an annual rally drawing people from all over North America and even around the world. We’ve found that Triumph enthusiasts are a unique collection of amazing people, spanning the spectrum from traditional cruiser riders to twisty-devouring spo

Fall in Vermont is a stimulating time of year. As the green leaves mutate turning into brilliant red, yellow, orange, and gold, the days offer gentle daytime temperatures and the evenings are cool enough for a cheery fire in the fireplace. The long shadows cast by the October light in the late afternoon frames the resplendent leaves before dusk closes in.

Adding to the allure of Nature, the colossal Camelot tents set in the valley are a veritable cathedral of creativity. After all, winter is the season most of us spend prolonged periods indoors.
