Celebrating Music, Love, Diversity, and Community at The Wildflower


Looking Back At An Incredible Year

As the sun sets on another unforgettable summer, we at The Wildflower want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible memories we've created and the amazing people who made it all possible. Summer 2023 was a season filled with music, love, diversity, and community, and we couldn't be more grateful for the old and new faces that graced our property with their presence. To everyone who joined us, supported us, and made this summer unforgettable, thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

The Summer Music Series

Music has always been a universal language that brings people together, and this summer was no exception. Our Summer Music Series featured talented musicians every weekend, transforming The Wildflower into a haven for music enthusiasts. From soulful blues to foot-tapping folk, our stage was graced with diverse acts that filled the warm summer nights with beautiful melodies. It was heartwarming to see our guests dancing and enjoying the music under the starry Vermont sky. The Summer Music Series truly brought the community closer through the power of music.

ride for mo: honoring a beloved community member

On May 15th, we came together to remember and celebrate the life of Moriah "Mo" Wilson, a cherished member of the East Burke community and a fellow cyclist who touched our hearts.

It was an emotional and beautiful experience, and we want to extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who participated. Your support and love for Mo's legacy made this event truly special.
