Not everyone will be back this year. This weekend would’ve been Waking Windows in Winooski.”The fact that the town and the state is opening up a bit more is helpful that it is falling into this weekend so we’re able to highlight what would’ve been a very festive event,” Nick Mavodones from Waking Windows said. Organizers of the festival have teamed up with Winooski Mutual Aid. Participating businesses in Winooski are accepting donations this weekend.”One of the best parts about Waking Windows is really how much of its foundation is celebrating the community of Winooski,” Amy Cronin, Winooski Mutual Aid x Waking Windows Weekend Collaboration, said. At the Shelburne Museum, tickets are already on sale for the Higher Ground summer concerts.”We’re very pleased to bring music back to our corner of Vermont,” Tom Denenberg, Director of the Shelburne Museum, said.

I think the shows that people are already wanting to go out.”
