About Us
We are the City of Burlington, and we Love Burlington! Our small business community is the heart of our city. They create the spaces we gather in, the events we celebrate, the gifts we give, and they foster community throughout. Burlington may be small, but it is recognized nationally for the wonderful shopping, dining, events, and experiences created by our local businesses. Not to mention, they create jobs right here at home. For every dollar you spend at a local business, 67 cents stay in our economy. Local businesses also donate more to local charities and non-profits than national chains do.
We created Love Burlington to amplify the voices of our small businesses and help you find local places to shop, eat, and experience. Please dive in and take a closer look. We bet you’ll find many businesses you never knew existed. You can sort by neighborhood (check out our neighborhood pages), category, or even discover businesses that are BIPOC owned. We’re here to celebrate every aspect of small business and are happy you are, too!

Interested in adding your business to Love Burlington?
Send us a message to get started! Love Burlington is a project of the City of Burlington and cannot list businesses that are not based in Burlington, Vermont (despite how many incredible businesses we have in our neighboring towns in Vermont.) Currently, we only list Burlington-based artists and direct-to-consumer businesses focused on dining, retail, and services such as gyms, mechanics, and salons.
