 Good morning, this is your Burlington Local Frequency for Thursday, May 29, 2025. The city is waking up to beautiful spring weather, and there is plenty happening across Burlington today. Kicking things off at City Hall, Mayor Emma Wright has issued her latest message on the fiscal year 2026 budget, outlining continued investments in public safety and community services. Keep an eye out for upcoming council meetings, as budget discussions are expected to shape many city programs in the months ahead. The Mayor also announced the appointment of Kara Alnasrawi as the new director of the Community and Economic Development Office. Alnasrawi is already well-known in the community for her leadership and business advocacy, and she’s expected to bring fresh energy to Burlington’s economic initiatives.

Turning to public safety, the Burlington Police Department continues its investigation into the gunfire incident that occurred on North Champlain and Sherman Street earlier this week. No injuries were reported, but police are asking anyone with information to come forward as they work to ensure neighborhood safety. Elsewhere in Chittenden County, state police remind motorists to drive attentively following a multi-vehicle crash this morning near Williston. There were no life-threatening injuries, but traffic delays are expected around the area as crews clear the scene and authorities handle court proceedings later today.

On a brighter note, Vermont Federal Credit Union, headquartered right here in Burlington, has just been recognized with the 2025 Best of the Best award by MemberXP, highlighting their commitment to excellent customer service. If you bank with Vermont Federal, congratulations to your team for their continued dedication.

For those looking for something to do today, the Burlington Farmers Market is gearing up for a lively afternoon at City Hall Park. Fresh produce, artisan baked goods, local crafts, and live music are all on tap. It’s the perfect spot to pick up late spring veggies or enjoy a picnic lunch. Later this evening, the Flynn is hosting an indie folk concert featuring some of Vermont’s emerging artists, so music lovers have a great reason to head downtown. Families will want to check out the Fletcher Free Library’s interactive storytime at 10:30 a.m., and don’t forget that outdoor recreation programs at Oakledge Park are ramping up as we get into summer.

That wraps up today’s updates across Burlington. Whether you’re diving into city news, supporting local businesses, or just soaking up the good weather at the park, there’s plenty happening to keep you connected and engaged. This has been Burlington Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
