Each year, a handful of Vermont’s annual events are elevated as Signature Events, drawing crowds and representing Vermont’s welcoming and sometimes quirky culture. Throughout the winter, these gatherings and others invite you to come together to keep the season feeling warm. From torchlight parades at resorts to town-wide winter festivals and outdoor competitions, Vermont’s winter lineup is calling.
WASSAIL WEEKEND
Dec. 12-14, 2025
Twinkling lights and sleigh bells set the stage in Woodstock. Enjoy an artisan craft fair set in a covered bridge and take a ride on a horse-drawn carriage through the village, make ornaments, sing carols, and celebrate the season.
Ring in 2026 with eight hours of musical and theatrical performances in St. Johnsbury. Take in 50 shows across a dozen venues, shuttle service, local food vendors, a dedicated LGBTQ+ arts space, and a dance party when the clock strikes midnight.
In Greensboro, enjoy cheese tasting, quirky curling competitions with a wheel of Jasper Hill cheese, live music, and local food in a festive atmosphere. Watch as the challenges unfold or try your own hand at curling.
