The artistic series will include concerts, dances, and film showings at City Hall Park, special art exhibits at the Burlington City Arts (BCA) center on Church Street, and some special new events like the Twilight Block Party series, which will combine music and vendors with the Vermont sunset over Lake Champlain. The first day's events on Friday will include a concert by jazz-folk band Andrew Richards Quartet at 12:30 p.m., a dance with DJ Richie Conte at 4:00 p.m., and the season opening reception at the BCA center at 5:00 p.m.. This will be followed by more events Saturday and then throughout the summer. A full listing of events is on the BCA website. Burlington Jazz Fest promises a musical journey around the world On display at the beginning of the season at the BCA Center will be two contrasting art exhibits, Animation as Art, which features animated film shorts on 'themes ranging from housing instability to game design,' and Jacob Hashimoto: a lowercase sky, which combines traditional kite-making, collage, and papercraft.

Williston firefighters recognized for saving baby with medical care
WILLISTON, Vt. (ABC22/FOX44) – The Williston Fire Department announced Tuesday that five of their own had been recognized for a quick response that may have saved a 15-month-old child's life. The child was found unresponsive in a local hotel April 26 following a seizure. She was not breathing well and low on oxygen, but the team of five was able to stabilize her and get her to the University of Vermont Medical Center for further care. The firefighters received a commendation from Dr. Peter Antevy, MD, who founded the Handtevy System used by the team to respond to the child's medical emergency. Handtevy describes itself as a 'pediatric healthcare technology company', which makes software that emergency medical providers can use to facilitate decisions under time pressure. Burlington Jazz Fest promises a musical journey around the world Antevy told the firefighters that their quick decision making and professionalism was responsible for the happy outcome. 'Each of you performed with purpose and clarity,' he said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
