This coming weekend is one of the best weekends of the year in Winooski. Waking Windows is one of my favorite festivals I’ve been to. It takes over normally quite downtown Winooski into a music lovers paradise.
Besides having three full days of music they also have a “Dam” which is a gathering of artisans selling their eclectic handmade + vintage goods, surrounded by live music, food, and drinks. Here’s the artistic that are going to be featured this Saturday at Waking Windows.
