Celebrate Burlington continues!
As of 6:30 p.m. this evening the Recreation Department is not planning on making any changes to the end of Celebrate Burlington. Though the clouds have rolled in and there were some rumbles of thunder, it appears the storm will move away from us. So as of now the concert featuring Beetlejuice will still be on at 7 p.m. and the fireworks are still on and set to begin at 9 p.m. Both can be viewed at the Town Commons and Simonds Park. Burlington Patch is in contact with the Recreation Department so if anything changes we will let you know. If the fireworks are cancelled we will also send out a 'breaking news' email to everyone who has signed up for our newsletter. If you'd like to get breaking news alerts, and our morning top stories, sign…
