Nearly three months after severe flooding inundated Vermont’s capital city, Montpelier is celebrating how much progress has been made with a two-day reopening event
Shoppers stop at a sidewalk sale at Althea's Attic Boutique in Montpelier, Vt., on Friday, Oct. 6, 2023. Three months after flooding inundated the small city, Montpelier is holding a reopening celebration on Friday and Saturday to show the progress.
Trautz said at least 125 Montpelier businesses were damaged in the July flooding that filled basements and lower floors of businesses with water and obscured vehicles and all but the tops of parking meters downtown. Some resident canoed and kayaked along main streets, while others slogged through the waist-high water to survey the scene.
The celebration includes an art walk on Friday evening, the farmer’s market on Saturday morning, and the Taste of Montpelier Food Festival in the afternoon with 20 food trucks offering fare from around Vermont. A singing group will hold a benefit for Montpelier flood relief on the Statehouse lawn on Saturday afternoon and the Kellogg Hubbard Library will celebrate its own grand reopening with crafts, snacks, and the finale of its fundraising auction.
