Vermont · Real Things To Do
Find something worth putting your phone down for.
Vermont Unplugged is a field guide to real things to do across Vermont — live music, theater, creative workshops, local gatherings, family attractions, and outdoor adventures. Hand-picked, run by real people, and worth getting out of the scroll for.
The Printed Field Guide
A guide worth keeping on the fridge.
Most mail goes straight in the recycling. The Vermont Unplugged Field Guide doesn't — it's an oversized 9 × 12" guide to real Vermont experiences, combining a stylized map of geographic locations, a category directory, and a set of featured experiences and upcoming events, all cross-referenced to a live version of the guide on this site.
Statewide organizations and events without a single address are included in the directory too — not forced onto the map as a misleading pin. And because the website stays current even as dates and offerings change, the printed guide is a starting point, not the only word.
Launching this season. The first Vermont Unplugged Field Guide is being assembled now and is planned for distribution to thousands of Vermont mailboxes. Sign up below and we'll tell you the week it lands.
Conceptual layout — final design will reflect participating experiences.
