Groovin’ on the Green

People gathering outdoors under trees at what appears to be an event or festival in a park.

People gathered around a table with various items, illuminated by flashlights during nighttime.

The 3rd Annual Groovin’ on the Green was a fun celebration as the last bash of summer. Friends, family and neighbors gathered in the heart of the Little City Friday evening, September 12 at City Park, A BLOCK PARTY FUN-raiser; each year, EVERYONE is invited.

People danced and grooved to the beat of Unruley Allies. A cash bar, hosted by Strong House Inn, coupled with food trucks and games added up to a whole lot of fun.

FREE EVENT - Games - Music - Food - FUN 4 ALL!

Vergennes Partnership is pleased to host Groovin' on the Green as a means of celebrating this great community in which we live, work and play. Hope to see you on the Green!.

Vergennes Memorial Day Parade

Join the American Legion Post #14 as we honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Monday, May 26, 2025, the parade begins at 11:00am at Vergennes Union High School. From there, the 1.5 mile route travels Monkton Road, through downtown, then on to South Maple, Victory, and Green Streets, eventually ending at City Park (Vergennes Green). A ceremony honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice will take place immediately after the parade at City Park.
Come to the Vergennes this Memorial Day; we’re the Little City with the Big Heart!
