Best events in
Burlington

Beyond its tech-corridor reputation, Burlington, MA, has a full calendar of events and things to do. The town's schedule is anchored by large, community-focused annual gatherings on the classic New England Town Common. A more modern, walkable scene has also emerged at 3rd Ave, with its mix of restaurants, shops, and programmed green space.

The walkable, open-air layout of 3rd Ave makes it a central spot for an evening out, from dinner at Tavern in the Square to seasonal live music on The Green.
Large-scale annual town celebrations, like Celebrate Burlington, bring the community together on the historic Burlington Town Common for family-friendly activities.
Local theatre productions are staged by The Burlington Players at The Park Playhouse on Cambridge Street.
