Montpelier’s Hot Fourth Finally Here | Montpelier News

Montpelier’s Fourth of July is back — and this time, the heat’s the real star. After last year’s storm derailed everything, this year’s forecast is scorching, with temps hitting 100 degrees, but organizers are ready with water monsters, refillable bottles, and cooling stations to keep everyone cool. The parade kicks off at 6:15 p.m. with a “250 Together” theme, following the Montpelier Mile footrace, while Family Fest, food trucks, and live music fill the State House lawn starting at 3 p.m. Businesses are staying open late to cash in on the crowds, and even the Vermont Historical Society is waiving admission to celebrate 250 years of history. It’s a blazing, joyful return to summer festivities — minus the rain.
