SECOND ANNUAL ODD FEST RETURNS JUNE 27 WITH 10-BAND LINEUP AND INDOOR MARKET Music festival co-presented with Safety Pin Shows benefits the North End Food Pantry

BURLINGTON, VT -- Queen City Lodge No. 1 of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and Safety Pin Shows announce the Second Annual Odd Fest on Saturday, June 27, 2026, Noon to 8 PM, at Burlington Odd Fellows Hall, 1416 North Ave.

The outdoor festival features ten local and touring acts: Sister Wife Sex Strike, Dusty the Kid, Dogface, The Eyetraps, Doom Service, Vallory Falls, Paper Castles, The Leatherbound Books, Fisher and the Flood, and Brunch. Inside the hall, a free craft and flea market will run throughout the day featuring handmade goods, art, vintage finds, and more from local makers and vendors.

Entry to the music festival is donation-based with a $20 suggested contribution. Every dollar from the door goes directly to the North End Food Pantry, which provides food, clothing, personal care items, and other essentials to Burlington residents at no cost. The inaugural Odd Fest in 2025 drew more than 300 attendees and raised around $3,000 for the pantry.

“What moves me most about this lodge is the people. The volunteers who staff the pantry every weekend morning, the people who host our community events, the musicians who perform for our neighbors. The pantry serves hundreds of families in Burlington's North End every month, and every dollar from entry to Odd Fest goes straight to that work. This is community building in the most literal sense, and we are very proud to celebrate and fundraise for it.” - Zachary York, Noble Grand

Founded in 1845, Queen City Lodge No. 1 has established itself as an active community hub in Burlington's New North End, hosting live music, arts and kids' programming, and weekly food pantry operations year round. All public events are free or by suggested donation.
