Lakeside Welcome Picnic in Burlington

5:00 pm - 7:00 pm

All out-of-town guests are invited to join us for a sunset welcome picnic on the beach catered by... Shawn! Burlington Surf Club is a private beach on Lake Champlain. We are renting a portion of the yard/beach area and will be sharing the overall space with club members. Please "come as you are" but be prepared for grass, sand, sun and shade. There's a shallow, sandy place to wade in the water and even swim a little if you want. Full-service restrooms and changing areas are available. Weather permitting, this is the best spot to watch the sunset that will conclude the get-together. In the event of light rain, we will move to a nearby pavilion. If there is a storm, the picnic will be canceled. If you are interested in coming earlier and enjoying the beach and lake, please contact Don and he'll see what we can set up for you! As part of our party rental, we will have access to a few paddleboards, kayaks, etc. on site if you let me know in advance.

The Shuttle

3:45 pm - 11:45 pm

We booked a shuttle for 50 of you! Meet the bus at 255 S. Champlain St., Burlington (Seven Days office) at 3:45 p.m. (bus leaves at 4 p.m. sharp). You'll be at the wedding venue by 5 p.m. — just in time for cocktails! The shuttle leaves the party at 11 p.m. and returns to the same Burlington "bus stop." We are not asking for an RSVP for the shuttle, so if you miss it, you miss it! You are welcome to take the shuttle one-way or roundtrip. Ample and free street parking is available at the bus stop in Burlington. The location is within walking distance (3-4 blocks) from downtown hotels. Seven Days staff should park in their usual permitted spots, please.
