This free community-wide celebration across downtown Middlebury will feature world-class circus arts performers, live music, side-walk sales, Middlebury Money giveaways, and free offerings and activities from Neighbors, Together. This event, produced by many partners, culminates the multi-year Middlebury rail-bridge construction project, and signals the rebirth of our downtown.
Foolaroo, is a twist on the five-year festival Foodaroo — this year focusing on live performance at various locations around downtown Middlebury. In lieu of food trucks, attendees are encouraged to support local restaurants as they rebound from COVID and construction.
Live Performance! Town Hall Theater and Middlebury Underground present a feast of “fools”:
1:00-1:45pm, Town Green, The Real McCoy Show, international stunt comedy with a hard hat.
2:00-2:45pm, College Park (across from Shafers), Cate Great, gravity-defying, high-end circus comedy.
3:00-3:45pm, Marble Works, Snap Boogie, America’s Got Talent & NBA half-time performer combining high-energy dance & crazy stunts.
3:50 pm, Marble Works, Rachel Schiffer, stunning wire walker, gymnast, aerialist, and acrobatic flyer.
4:00-5:00pm, Marble Works, Atom & The Orbits 7-piece dance band playing modern rock & roll.
Downtown Giveaways & Activities! Through construction and COVID, Neighbors, Together businesses and organizations banded together to create activities and promotions driving economic activity and community vitality. At Foolaroo, Neighbors, Together partners will sponsor FREE
activities, treats, and surprises!
