The summer is chock-full of music, children’s events, the Great Brandon Auction, and the best Yard Sale Day in Vermont! In the fall, Brandon comes alive with our famous Leaf People (aka scarecrows) and we annually host a “Make Your Own Leaf Person” day. There are winter arts events which bring many local and state-wide performers to town, helping to warm up many a cool winter night. Brandon Music, Gallery-in-the-Field and the Brandon Inn host other performances throughout the year.

Brandon’s Independence Day Celebration is the largest in the State and is held annually on the Saturday closest to July 4th. Besides the spectacular parade, the day-long event offers children’s activities, a Neshobe River ball race, concessions, fireworks at dusk and more.  The popular free Summer Concert Series scatters music throughout the season. During the second weekend in July, Wyman’s Pond is transformed into a home for thousands of bluegrass music lovers enjoying the Basin Bluegrass Festival.

Branbury State Park, located on the shore of Lake Dunmore, serves up a whole calendar of events throughout the summer. The historic Brandon Town Hall is open seasonally with a myriad of events. The New England Maple Museum offers a variety of classes and demonstrations on a regular basis.
