City Nature Celebration
April 25 - May 4, 2025 | Burlington VT | Nature, Community, & Celebration
City Nature Celebration began in 2021 as a week of outdoor events organized by Burlington Wildways, and it’s since grown into an annual, citywide tradition. While Burlington Wildways continues to coordinate with support from community partners, this year, Love Burlington is your one-stop guide to it all—from official Wildways events to nature-themed and Earth Day activities hosted by local businesses and organizations across the city.
Whether you're taking part in the regional BioBlitz, playing Earth Day Trivia at Ri Ra Irish Pub, or simply soaking in the beauty of Burlington's parks and trails, there’s a place for everyone in this community-wide celebration of nature. We've highlighted just a few of our favorites but be sure to check out the full list of events below!
