Local Events to Love Today

Pets, parties, and paperbacks—today’s the day to soak in summer vibes across the state! Head to St. Johnsbury for the 76th annual Pet Parade, where Main Street turns into a furry festival from 10 AM to 1 PM. In Rutland, the Summer Street Party kicks off early (June instead of August!) with live music, local vendors, and kid-friendly fun on Center Street and Merchants Row, 10 AM to 4 PM. And if books or blooms are your thing, the Essex Free Library’s Book & Plant Sale runs 9 AM to 3 PM—your last chance to score great reads while funding their summer reading program. All events are free and perfect for community fun. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
