"Northeast Kingdom" is a term used passionately throughout Vermont and beyond when referring to the corner of the state against the Canadian Border and the upper Connecticut River. The Northeast Kingdom received its nickname over 50 years ago in honor of its sheer splendor. The term suggests an enviable and sought-after quality of life and without a doubt, the state's most beautiful and undisturbed region. The Kingdom offers breath-taking scenery, outstanding lodging and dining, ecotourism and agritourism, Vermont made products, and recreational opportunities which have gained the Northeast Kingdom national and international recognition.
Occupying the northeast corner of Vermont, the "Northeast Kingdom" represents nearly one-fifth of Vermont's land mass and over 1/4 of it's water, with over 200 lakes and ponds. The area is densely forested, and rich in New England history. You'll find refreshing farm stands, inviting restaurants, charming inns, eclectic museums and antique shops.
An outdoor lover's paradise, the "Kingdom Trails" are rated as one of the top five mountain biking networks in the world. The Northeast Kingdom also has eight state parks, some of which have camping facilities. There are cabin rentals on all our major lakes including Seymour, Willoughby, Joe's Pond, Harvey's Lake, Memphremagog, Crystal and Island Pond, to name our larger lakes. It has been said that the area could be the country's largest theme park, the theme being nature.
Good ole' New England charm and hospitality await your arrival.

Runa
3/31/23 - 3/31/23
Celtic-American “super group” RUNA moves beyond Irish folk music into Americana and roots, offering a thrilling new take on tradition by interweaving the haunting melodies and exuberant tunes of Ireland and Scotland with the lush harmonies and intoxicating rhythms of Jazz, Bluegrass, Flamenco and Blues.
RUNA continues a traditional culture in a modern age. The backbone of its signature roots sound is created from the musical and geographical diversity of its individual band members; vocalist and step-dancer, Shannon Lambert-Ryan of Philadelphia, Dublin-born guitarist Fionán de Barra, Cheryl Prashker of Canada on percussion, Jake James of New York on the fiddle, and Caleb Edwards of Nashville on mandolin and vocals.
Celebrating 10 years, RUNA’s creativity blazes a trail for the future of folk and earns them the reputation as one of the most innovative Irish folk groups of this generation.
