Stagecoach Village Art Festival: Fill & Download for Free

Vermont is well known for its stunning natural beauty and quaint colonial towns. Take a look at our list of some beautiful towns and villages to visit across Vermont.ChesterWindsor County’s town of Chester is best known for its Stone Village and Chester Village Historic Districts, both of which are listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Stone Village got its name for the predominance of granite houses, and the Chester Village features a typically New England Federal and colonial aesthetic. A popular tourist destination for its character, Chester is home to the Chester Fall Festival in September, charming inns, antique shops, galleries and great restaurants. Additionally, Chester offers opportunities for cyclists, boaters and snow skiers, lying in close proximity to Okemo, Mount Snow and Killington. For a quintessential Vermont experience, Chester provides a quiet and relaxing atmosphere.DorsetThe town of Dorset lies amid the hills of Bennington County in southern Vermont. Chartered in 1761, Dorset was the site of Cephas Kent’s famous tavern, which hosted meetings that eventually led to Vermont’s statehood. Dorset is also the location of America’s oldest marble quarry, which provided stone for the town’s sidewalks and the marble church next to the village green, as well as the main branch of the New York Public Library. A quiet and charming community in the highest valley between New York City and Montreal in Canada, Dorset has been a summer destination since the early 20th century, when artists and wealthy city-dwellers discovered the peaceful allure of the countryside. Take a swim in the quarry, partake in the Dorset Theatre Festival and explore the historical scenery for a relaxing and restorative mini-vacation.GraftonDiscover Grafton’s scenic beauty and historic buildings for a glimpse into America’s early colonial days. In the 1800s, Grafton was a popular stagecoach stop for those travelling to Albany, New York through the Green Mountains. As a result, the area acquired a market for hospitality, and maintains the Grafton Inn (formerly known as the Old Tavern), which dates back to 1801 and remains one of the oldest operating hotels in the United States. This picturesque village lies in the mountains of southern Vermont, and the residents have restored many of its original buildings to preserve its authentic New England atmosphere. Visitors can enjoy snow-covered hills and cross-country skiing, or wander the town’s array of shops and galleries.ManchesterA popular tourist destination for New Yorkers, New Englanders and even Europeans in recent years, Manchester is well known for its factory outlets and local businesses in the town center. Located in Bennington County, Manchester offers lots of recreational activities from shopping and dining to skiing and hiking. Manchester village has a vibrant cultural scene with museums, galleries, concerts and theatrical performances in addition to its natural and historical allure. Visitors can tour old buildings, peruse craft fairs and dine in one of many artisanal restaurants and cafés. Experience the best of authentic, old-world Vermont from covered bridges to rustic farmhouses in conjunction with the sophistication of a cultural town.MontpelierMontpelier may be the state capital of Vermont, but as the smallest state capital in the United States, it possesses all the charm and character of a small town or village. Since becoming the capital of Vermont in 1805, Montpelier’s primary focus has been in government. However, this small city offers a vibrant cultural scene with something for art-, music-, history- and nature-lovers alike. Visit the Vermont Historical Society Museum, the T.W. Wood Art Gallery and the Vermont State House, wander Hubbard Park and the Kellogg-Hubbard Library, and peruse farmers’ markets and quaint shops. As the site of the New England Culinary Institute, Montpelier also possesses a fantastic food culture with locally owned restaurants and cafés.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused many events around the world to be cancelled or postponed due to a country's government imposed restrictions of large gatherings.[1][2] Among the most prominent events to be affected were the 2020 Summer Olympics and Expo 2020, which both have been postponed to 2021,[3][4] and the Eurovision Song Contest 2020, which was cancelled entirely. A number of events have been modified to remove a live audience or to be purely held over teleconference.Events cancelled[edit]Award ceremonies[edit]21st British Soap Awards[5]15th Canadian Folk Music Awards[6]40th Golden Raspberry Awards[7]2020 iHeartRadio Music Awards (replaced by a winner reveal in lieu of cancelled March 29 ceremony)[8][9]19th Lunas del Auditorio[10]2020 Laurence Olivier Awards[11]Conventions, conferences, and trade shows[edit]A-Kon 2020[12]Amazon re:MARS 2020[13]2020 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI) Annual Meeting[14]2020 American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) Annual Meeting[15]2020 American Academy of Neurology (AAN) Annual Meeting[16]2020 American College of Cardiology (ACC) Annual Meeting[17]2020 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting[18]2020 American Physical Society (APS) March Meeting[19]2021 Tucson Gem & Mineral Show[20]Anime Boston 2020[21]Anime Central 2020[22]Anime Expo 2020[23]Anime Festival Asia 2020 Singapore[24]AnimeJapan 2020[25]Anime North 2020[26] (there will be no event in 2021) [27]Animethon 2020[28]Anthrocon 2020[29]Astana Economic Forum 2020[30]BlizzCon[31]Brasil Game Show 2020[32]Calgary Expo 2020[33]CinemaCon 2020[34]Comiket 98[35]Computex Taipei 2020[36]Crunchyroll Expo 2020 (continued as a digital event)[37][38][39]DEF CON 2020[40]D23 Expo 2020 (there will be no event in 2021)[41]E3 2020[42]EGX 2020[43]Electromagnetic Field 2020[44]Emerald City Comic Con 2020[45]Eurofurence 26[46]Evolution Championship Series 2020[47]Facebook F8[48]FanimeCon 2020[49]FanX 2020[50]Furry Weekend Atlanta 2020[51]Game Developers Conference 2020[52] (continued as a digital event)Gamescom 2020[53] (may continue as a digital event)2020 GenCon[54]2020 Geneva Motor Show (there will be no event in 2021)[55]Google I/O[56]Grazer Linuxtage[57]ITB Berlin 2020[58]Japan Amusement Expo 2021[59] (may continue as a digital event)Japan Expo 2020[60]Kumoricon 2020[61]L.A.
