Highlight 2024

For Highlight 2024 we’re welcoming revelers from far and wide to celebrate New Year’s Eve in Burlington’s beautiful downtown and Waterfront. Vermont artists, food vendors, musicians, and everyone in between come together to create a one-of-a-kind event that HIGHLIGHTS the best of Vermont.

There’s no better way to kick off 2025 than by counting down the experiences and ideas that make our community a hub of incredible creativity! Bring your brilliance to Highlight and apply to the Bright Ideas Project by Tuesday, September 10 at 11:59 PM EST for up to $8,000 in funding to bring your New Year’s Eve event to life.

Relive last year’s festivities with the Highlight program guide!
