General Information

Won’t you join us here in Burlington, Vermont, for a warming weekend of bountiful bacchanalia and raucous revelry?

The 14th annual Magic Hat Mardi Gras Parade takes place February 27th through March 1st, with the prodigal parade going down on Saturday, February 28th.

The slippery streets of downtown Burlington will momentarily melt to accommodate all comers, new and old. The Magic Hat Mardi Gras is a full weekend event, and we urge you to come and experience all three days of festivities (of course, you’re always welcome to spend the entire week!).

All events this weekend will serve to bring awareness and support to the Women’s Rape Crisis Center of Burlington. Last year, we raised over $27,000 for the center, and with your help, we hope to raise even more this year!

Of course, none of this would have been possible without many helping hands from our presenting sponsors 106.7 WIZN, Seven Days and 99.9 The BUZZ, our gracious underwriting sponsors, Ben and Jerry’s and JetBlue Airways, and additional support from The Hilton Burlington and Smugglers' Notch Resort.
