Burlington Vermont isn't the only place where festivities are unfolding. The whole state of Vermont will be aglow in celebration, with something for everyone. If you're looking for a thrill, there's nothing more exhilarating than Barre Vermont's Thunder Road Speedway and accompanying special Fourth of July fireworks show! Or would you prefer to indulge your musical sensibilities to the same measure your eyes will feast upon fireworks? If so, you may immensely enjoy the upcoming Grafton Music Festival. Celebrating it's fifth annual event in Grafton Vermont, many agree the pinnacle of the festival is the Vermont Symphony Orchestra Concert & Fireworks at Grafton Pond's Outdoor Center on July third. If you're looking for a little Independence Day retail therapy instead (Vermont style!), then you won't want to miss Stowe Vermont for July 4th festivities! Stowe's Independence Day celebration boasts a parade, fireworks, and far more. Enjoy Stowe 7 Miles Of Sales, a town-wide sale of the finest things, second to none! More than 60 locally-owned and independent boutiques, galleries, and unique specialty stores band together for this only-once-a-year event. If you feel like you need a little satire this Independence Day instead, then head on over to Mad River Valley in Vermont and watch the quixotic Warren Parade! Revered for its scathingly witty skits, floats, political satire and costuming, you're sure to come away holding your sides from belly-laughing.
