Alchemist brewery in Stowe
Alchemist brewery in Stowe (Heady Topper) and Ben & Jerry's. Don't forget to see the ice cream graveyard.
Burlington has Church Street, a nice pedestrian area with lots of shops.

Hey Blue Rose, Think of VT
Hey Blue Rose, Think of VT as 3 States, South, Central and Northern. I lived in Southern Vermont for 14 Years and Manchester. VT as a great anchor town for S. Vermont. Moving to Central, we spent last summer in Woodstock/Quechee also a great area in the west/central part of the state. in Northern Vermont, Burlington area is a great college town, great food, music and the lake. Where ever you go, there is great hiking, camping, kayaking, mt biking within an easy drive. In Burlington you have the Flynn Theater and lots of good music throughout the state.
Happy to answer and specific questions.

Nice, thanks Vt Head.
Nice, thanks Vt Head.
I have some old school friends from New Paltz, that still reside in Burlington..
The Brewery that China-Rider suggested sounds worthy.
Love outdoor places in general, but with Covid still lurking, that will be the way to go...

I always liked doing the Burlington Bike Path from downtown north. Pretty ride. Factory seconds from the Lake Champlain Chocolate is never a bad thing. You can also do a tour of the factory while there. The Spirit of Ethan Allen boat cruise at sunset is nice. Higher Ground is still in operation but is becoming more and more focused on college age bands. A new venue(s) in Essex, VT, The Double E Performance Center, created by former Higher Ground founder and co-owner, Kevin Statsir, books a lot of the acts I know you enjoy. Not sure when they are opening up again though.

RRG - checkout that sculpture
RRG - checkout that sculpture park link. It's a beautiful part of Vermont, not too far from Burlington, and a great spot for a hike and picnic. While taking in some truly amazing large-scale artworks. Way above average for that kind of thing (sculpture parks). We spent about 4 hours there and could have stayed longer. They used to have small musical (outdoor) events there, also, but I don't know what the upcoming schedule is.

Jay Peak usually has an outdoor show or two in August (usually that is). VT is hoping to be per-Covid business as usual by 7/4 (according to the Gov anyways). It is a super cool/chill venue

Its been over 20 years since I lived there, but if its still around, sitting on the deck by the river drinking beer at the Long Trail Brewery in Bridgewater Corners is always a nice way to spend a summer afternoon.

Damn, I had no idea. Speaking of the Mad River Valley, the Waitsfield Farmer's Market on Saturday mornings is fun. The Stowe farmer's market is on Sundays.
