Memorial Day weekend is quickly approaching, and if you're staying at The Wildflower, you're in luck. The Northeast Kingdom is full of fun and exciting events for the holiday weekend, and we've put together a list of some of our favorites.

Final Fridays at Haven

One event to check out is Final Fridays at Haven in St. Johnsbury. "This ongoing event runs from April through August and features local artists and art openings in the shop. This year's theme is sculpture, and each opening reception is catered with delicious food from Alexis Hurley of Agatha Italian, and Vermont hard cider and biodynamic wines from Eden Ciders. The suggested donation is $6 - $12, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds." This is a great opportunity to explore the local art scene and meet some of the talented artists in the area.

St. Johnsbury Farmer's Market

If you're looking for something more active, head over to the St. Johnsbury Farmer's Market on Saturday, May 27th. This outdoor market features local vendors selling fresh produce, artisanal crafts, and homemade baked goods. Take a stroll through the market and sample some of the delicious offerings, or stock up on supplies for a picnic lunch.

Bikes & Brews

For a day trip idea, consider visiting a local brewery such as Dirt Church or Hill Farmstead. Both breweries are known for their high-quality craft beers, and a visit to either one is a great way to spend a lazy afternoon. Alternatively, hit the Kingdom Trails by bike and explore some of the beautiful trails in the area. The trails are suitable for all skill levels, and the views are simply breathtaking.

Just Kick Back

Of course, if you're looking for a more relaxing weekend, there's always the option to simply kick back at The Wildflower and enjoy some of the local cuisine. Our onsite restaurant features a menu with a great variety of dishes, and our cozy rooms and comfortable amenities are the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring.

the choice is yours!

Whatever your plans for Memorial Day weekend, there's no shortage of things to do in the Northeast Kingdom. Whether you're looking for art, outdoor adventure, or just a chance to relax and unwind, there's something for everyone to enjoy. So pack your bags, book your stay at The Wildflower, and get ready for a weekend of fun and excitement in one of the most beautiful parts of the country.
