Hints and tips

Lake Champlain contributes to moderate weather in Burlington. You can expect warm, humid weather in the summer with mostly sunny days. Bring warm clothes in winter because temperatures can drop quickly at night. This is especially important if you're planning to experience the nightlife in the clubs and bars on Church Street and Main Street. If you manage to come in February or March, you can see the annual Burlington Mardi Gras Parade on Church Street.
