To celebrate the United States’ 250th birthday, the Vermont Symphony Orchestra hits the road with Summer Festival Tour: America 250, bringing music to communities across the Green Mountain State.

Music Director Andrew Crust invites you to bring a picnic blanket and relax under sunny skies to enjoy this cherished tradition.
