What is Burlington River Days?

Well… it’s part music festival, part family carnival, part boat parade, part outdoor Olympics, part prize giveaway, and 100% proof that Burlington knows how to throw a Party with Purpose.

 

Burlington River Days is a three-day celebration of everything we love about our river town—good people, good music, cold drinks, and muddy boats. It’s happening June 12–14, 2025, on the Burlington riverfront.

​

You’ll catch live music every night (including Saliva on Saturday—click click boom, baby!), a full-blown carnival, a boat parade, a boat show, the “Boatload of Prizes” giveaway (yes, we’re literally giving away a new boat!), and a wild lineup of activities we call the River Days Olympics—archery, casting contests, BB guns, and more.

​

Best of all, this isn’t just a party for the sake of partying. Proceeds from River Days go to the Partners for Conservation Foundation, which means your fun funds things like outdoor recreation projects, riverfront improvements, and conservation programs in our own backyard.

Grab your tickets, your crew, and your favorite sandals and come join us on the riverfront.
