Largest city in the state of Vermont, historic Burlington was built along the shores of Lake Champlain, and is believed to be named after Richard Boyle. This city offers its people a fleet of cultural activity to choose from like the Vermont Brewers Festival, Giant Pumpkin Regatta and Festival of Fools. Dragon boat races held at the lake are an absolute delight to watch, and so are the events organized by Burlington's very own drag troupe.
