On behalf of the City of Burlington, I want to welcome you to the Festival of Fools!

This free three-day festival offers residents and visitors alike an accessible showcase of local, regional and global talent, including musicians, comedians, circus performers, and buskers.

Now in its seventeenth year, the Festival of Fools continues to remind us of the power of performance art to cultivate community, and contribute to the vibrant atmosphere that makes Burlington a truly special place.

This fun and joy-filled weekend is made possible by the hard work and support of many City staff and community partners, and I am so grateful for their effort.

We hope you enjoy the festivities and all that Burlington has to offer.

Emma Mulvaney-Stanak

Mayor of Burlington
