Here we'll post our favorite negative comments we find across the web, sometimes followed by our own commentary. Enjoy!

​

“Nobody wants to pay to go to concerts on the riverfront.”

Well it's a good thing Burlington River Days concerts are free.

​

“The riverfront is dead.”

So let's bring a bunch of people down to it.

​

“This town doesn’t do anything for the boating community.”

Hmm... how about an event for the boating community?

​

“The river floods all the time. That’s what killed Steamboat Days.”

If only we had a flood wall...

​

“You don’t have time to pull this off.”

Probably not. But we’re gonna try anyway.

​

“This is going to be an epic failure.”

That might actually be true. But then again, it might not.

​

“Saliva is washed up dad-rock. They haven’t been relevant since the 2000’s”

Maybe we'll get them to dedicate a song to you.

​

"Why beer"

Hey not a bad band name.

​

"Why not just bring back steamboat days duh"

It's the "duh" that really drives it home.

​

"Man, this is gonna suck."

Time will tell, friend... time will tell.

​

"When are they gonna realize there's nothing but losing behind "free""

 

"You had me until you said Carnival take out the carnival and then we'd have something"

Take out the carnival... like, on date?

 

"Heehaw"

Finally someone gets it.

 

"If it brings in a lot of people it will stop being free"

Also, if it brings in a lot of free, it will stop being people. Think about THAT.

 

"Hasn't been relevant since the 2000s"

If only I could get a button at Burlington Vintage & Co. that said that I'd be ready for Burlington River Days. 

 

"To hell with River Days"

We'll say hi to your uncle for you.

 

"This festival is laughable...No one cares that you named it "river days"...when it all involves land based operations and events. Call it Burlington Land and we hate boaters days!"

You know, that has a certain ring to it. I wonder if that website is available.​​​
