2025 Fools Block Party in Burlington
August 2 @ 11:00 am - 8:00 pm
Burlington City Arts’ Festival of Fools will go on after all, thanks to the generosity of local businesses who rallied to pay for it after funding losses had forced its cancellation.
The downsized free event, called the 2025 Fools Block Party, showcases entertainers and musicians performing on the Church Street Marketplace and in City Hall Park.
According to Seven Days newspaper, among those returning are crowd favorites Mutts Gone Nuts; the Red Trouser Show; Hilby, the Skinny German Juggle Boy; and Burlington’s own Murmurations Aerial. Acrobat Mason Ames will make his Fools debut.
The concerts, vendors and Splash Dance that BCA already had scheduled for City Hall Park’s Summer in the City series will round out the party.
