Embrace the swarm at the Adamant Blackfly Festival, a buzzing bash at the town’s central co-op honoring the insect we love to hate. Why the blackfly, you ask? Why not! After a long winter, Vermonters should celebrate all aspects of the outdoors. The family-friendly affair kicks off with a guided nature walk and a build-a-bug workshop for young environmentalists. General mayhem ensues by late morning with live music, grilled eats, and an interactive show-and-tell with an entomology expert. A legendary parade, fashion show and bloody delicious pie contest complete the beloved annual pestival.
