The story

The Vermont Quilt Show in South Burlington

The Vermont Quilt Show held its inaugural edition June 18 to 20, 2026 at the DoubleTree Expo Center in South Burlington, Vermont, launched to fill the gap left when the state's decades-old Vermont Quilt Festival closed permanently in 2023. The new show featured more than 55 vendors, over 200 quilts ranging from antique to modern, 20 classes and 10 free lectures, with free admission and parking.

South Burlington, Vermont became host to a brand-new quilting show in 2026 when organizers launched The Vermont Quilt Show at the DoubleTree Expo Center on Williston Road, running June 18 through 20 as the inaugural edition of what is meant to fill a gap left by the closure of the state's long-running Vermont Quilt Festival.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

This show exists specifically as a successor to the Vermont Quilt Festival, which had run since 1977 before organizers abruptly announced its permanent closure in May 2023, just weeks ahead of that year's planned event

02

The mystery stays covered

Rather than reviving the old festival's exact format, The Vermont Quilt Show launched fresh in 2026 at a new venue, the DoubleTree Expo Center in South Burlington, in coordination with the Middlebury Sew N Vac shop

03

The city starts moving

Its first edition combined a vendor marketplace of more than 55 businesses with a substantial quilt exhibition of over 200 pieces and a full slate of 20 paid classes plus 10 free lectures, all offered with free admission and parking
