What a year! We’re a little early for Thanksgivi

What a year! We’re a little early for Thanksgiving but we’re already feeling so thankful. We can’t say ‘thank you’ enough to everyone who made our 2024 events possible — from staff and board members, to vendors and community partners, to volunteers, to sponsors and donors, to everyone who came out and had fun with us!

Take a little journey with us through this past year and the awesome impact we’re proud to have made in our beautiful community. We love Winooski and all of you!

If you’d like to help us continue serving the community in 2025, please consider making a donation at downtownwinooski.org. Your support means the world and helps us offer our events and services for free to everyone who lives, works, and plays in Winooski. Thank you, we can’t wait to keep celebrating the Onion City with you in the new year!

It's almost time to party while you shop & shop while you party!

The 2024 Winooski Holiday Pop-Up will be Thurs, December 5th from 5-9pm at @monkeyhouse_vt, @grazersvt, @mulebarvt, @specs_drinks, @standing_stone_wine_shop_vt, @miserylovescovt, @howl.bier, @4quartersbrew, @scout.vt, @winooski_wheels, @autumnrecordsvt, and 41 Main St (aka the Pop-Up Headquarters)!

The Pop-Up Passport is back! You can pick one up yourself at participating venues starting later this week or the night of the event. Bring it with you as you make your way around the rotary on the 5th and get it stamped at every venue you visit! Turn it in to the Downtown Winooski table at the Pop-Up Headquarters before the end of the night and you'll be entered into a raffle packed with amazing goodies from the vendors and venues. Just like last year, there'll be 2 lucky winners, so with double the chances you don't want to skip it!

In true Holiday Pop-Up fashion, we will be popping-up at 41 Main St. right between Standing Stone Wines and the new Howl Bier. As the Pop-Up Headquarters, it'll be filled with a DJ, vendors, and lots of festivity. It's where you'll find us as well as turn in your passport for the raffle!

A big thank you to The Monkey House for founding and continuing to help us organize this incredible event and to @barrhillgin for their support making it possible!
