Montpelier has long been a magnet for artists, artisans, and performers. Many craft shows and seasonal celebrations take place in an around Montpelier, including the well-known Quilters Festival at nearby Norwich University. Traditional Vermont activities enrich life in every season: farmers’ markets, craft fairs, cider pressing, maple sugar houses, harvest suppers, and much more.

Montpelier is exceptionally rich in performing arts offerings. Lost Nation Theater, Montpelier’s resident professional theater company, presents performances in the elegant City Hall Arts Center. The Onion River Arts Council offers concerts for all tastes and audiences throughout the year.

Looking beyond Montpelier itself, Westview Meadows is close to Interstate 89, which puts many exciting Vermont destinations within an easy drive. Shelburne Museum, the famed resort town of Stowe, Billings Farm in Woodstock, Burlington, and magnificent Lake Champlain are just a few examples.
