Knight Point State Park

This state park is home to the Island Center for Arts and Recreation, a community-based nonprofit that promotes cultural events in the region. Until recently, the Royal Lippizan Stallions used this as their summer home. It's a great place to watch the boats go by on Lake Champlain.

Fisk Farm Art Center

It’s Isle La Motte’s Shelburne Farms, but a lot more chill — a gallery, concert venue and teahouse. Presidents William McKinley and Teddy Roosevelt were both guests. You can always stop in and look at the art in the 19th-century horse-and-carriage barn, but on Sunday afternoons from 1 to 5, they serve tea and dessert to live acoustic music.

Burlington Farmers' Market

On Saturdays from May until October, sixty-three vendors sell everything from fresh fruits and vegetables to ethnic cuisine to artisan cheese. Local artists set up tables for the Art Market behind the Firehouse Gallery. Starts at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 1:30 p.m. If you want a local meat cheesburger for lunch, get there early.

Glenn Ziemke Glass Studio

Artisan glassblower Glenn Ziemke does daily demos in his Waterbury studio.

Firehouse Gallery

This historic public art gallery in a renovated fire house next to City Hall is managed by Burlington City Arts.
