Each summer, hundreds of events take place in Vermont State Parks.
Visitors appreciate the low costs and the scenic, natural settings of the parks.
For special occasions, many hire caterers for meals and beverage service. Often, they set up tent canopies for their protection in case of inclement weather. Most events, however, take place on the lawns or in the picnic shelters, available for a small reservation fee. There are 31 picnic shelters or enclosed buildings scattered throughout Vermont in the state parks. It is possible to reserve these facilities one year in advance through the individual parks during the park operating season or through the regional offices the remainder of the year.
