The Brattleboro region is known for being the most artistically diverse and culturally rich community in Vermont. Our regional recreation opportunities are limitless with two rivers, hundreds of acres of forests and trails, and the Green Mountains to the west. Whether you're coming for indoor or outdoor activities, our region has it all.
Arts & Entertainment
Brattleboro has long been a destination for film and theater as well as world-class jazz and classical music performances. From January through December, film festivals, monthly gallery walks, concerts, theater performances and community celebrations draw thousands of people downtown to enjoy entertainment, browse the shops, sample our diverse cuisines, and connect with friends and neighbors.
Congratulations Brattleboro!
