Lights & Decor
The Marketplace will be glowing with festive light pole banners and twinkling tree lights, setting the perfect mood for cozy strolls and magical evenings.

NEW! Heart to Heart

Discover a brand-new, interactive sculpture celebrating the power of human connection on the Church Street Marketplace. 

Here's how it works: When two individuals touch its electrodes and form a human chain, their shared energy completes a circuit, illuminating a glowing red heart. The sculpture symbolizes the transformative energy of connection and its ability to ignite and sustain love.

About the Artist: Clay Mohrman
Clay Mohrman is a lighting artist and the founder of Clay Mohr Lighting, based in Burlington, VT. He specializes in creating unique lighting sculptures that blend a variety of materials and LED technology for indoor and outdoor spaces. His work explores the intersection of nature, light, and emotion, using illumination as a medium to foster deeper connections between people and their environments.

Hearts in the Park

Love is in the air! Swing by City Hall Park and strike a pose with our heart sculptures for a picture-perfect moment! Clay Mohr Lighting's BTV Winter Market sculptures were re-envisioned for the Month of Love and turned into hearts to spread light and love in Downtown BTV. Share your love-filled snapshots with us all month long (@loveburlington).

Plus! The fountain lights will also be showing off their pretty pink, red, and purple lights from 3-11pm.

The FRAME 

Swing by The FRAME at 1 Lake Street for their hourly light show starting one hour before sundown (until 11pm) featuring all the shades of love: red, white, and pink! Catch the magic until February 25th!
