What’s that in the air? The first crisp hints of fall? The sound of crunching, fallen leaves beneath your feet? The smell of pumpkin-spice lattes in seemingly every other person’s hands?

Maybe. But you know what else is in the air in Vermont right now? Arts and entertainment are in the air. October is the month that many theater companies get into full swing, concerts move almost entirely indoors and colleges dive into their eclectic arts schedules.

Between apple-picking and pumpkin-carving plans, maybe you can squeeze in a few of these events that just might warm your heart and soul.

(See previous Burlington Free Press articles for more detail on the fall theater season and Halloween events.)
