Join us for a Listening Party at the Kingdom Maple Festival in St. Johnsbury!

Vermont Folklife "Listening Parties" bring people together to share the experience of listening deeply. A bit like a DJ set of the spoken word, we share voices, music, and sounds of the world around us drawn from the Archive at Vermont Folklife.

For this March event we tap into a seasonal theme: Maple sugaring! Drop by the NEK Artists Guild gallery for one of our three Listening Party “sets” during the Kingdom Maple Festival Street Fair in St. Johnsbury.

Rest your walking legs and be immersed in sound and story. You’ll hear about maple sugaring with horses, beer brewed with maple sap, songs from the sugar woods, and more. We’ll share our Listening Party sets three times during the day:

• 11:00 am

• 1:30 pm

• 3:00 pm

Come for the whole thing or just drop by for a few stories. After listening together stay and chat with Vermont Folklife staff and friends. Listening parties offer an opportunity to explore our community, history, and environment through sound.

This event is free, and open to the public.
