UPDATE: This event has been canceled due to gross and soggy weather.

The weather is warming up, meaning it’s the time of year where we get back out on the playground! There are tons of amazing playgrounds in the area, but let’s be honest, it’s always more fun when our kid has others to play with, and there are other caregivers to chat with. We’ll be meeting up at three different playgrounds across Chittenden County this spring, with stops in Burlington (4/27), Williston (5/18) and Milton (6/22). All playground playgroups take place on Sunday mornings from 10am - 12pm. See you out there!

The Guild Hall is officially open for families to enjoy Sunday morning from 9:30am - 11am. From 9:30 - 10:00, father, musician and early childhood educator Alex Baron facilitates a weekly fam jam for all family members. We’ll have some instruments on hand for you and your littles to enjoy! Following the musical portion of the morning, families are invited to spend the next hour enjoying a casual playgroup in the space. Families had been hanging around afterwards anyways, so we figured we’d just make it official!

Additionally, our good friends at Haymaker Buns downstairs will be offering $5 kids’ meals with any adult meal purchased to all playgroup attendees!

Do you play an instrument? Do you miss playing with a group? Then join other dads for a low-key jam group.

Join us on the second Sunday of every month from 3:30pm - 5pm for a low-key playgroup at the Fletcher Free Library in Burlington. We’ll be in the kids’ section, most likely sprawled out on the floor somewhere, attempting to have conversations with one another while our kids have other plans. Come with low expectations and you won’t leave disappointed.

Going through a separation or a divorce? Went through one already but wanting to connect with others in similar situations? Join Marlon for this new online support group.

Home with your kid in the middle of the week and looking for more playgroups to check out? We got you covered! Starting this quarter (Q2 2025), we’ll begin hosting some midweek playgroups in The Guild Hall at the Soda Plant. Pack some snacks and come on out!

We are bringing back one of our more popular events: Breakfast with Bluey Dance Mode! What can you expect? There'll be free pancakes and Bluey on the projector screen for 60 minutes, then we'll quickly transform into the hottest dance club open at 10am in Vermont, glow sticks and all. This exclusive dance party only lasts 30 minutes, so be sure to leave it all out on the dance floor. Bring your appetite and your dancing shoes. Dance mode.

Come hang out  BYOB-style at the Dad Guild space. No plans or agenda. Just a chance to hang out (and probably play some MarioKart)
