Higher Ground
Located conveniently off of I-89 in South Burlington, Higher Ground has been bringing music to Northern Vermont since 1998. With two venues under one roof, we’re able to produce 300+ shows a year across a wide variety of genres. In the Higher Ground Ballroom we consistently host many nationally touring acts, while just steps away the Showcase Lounge offers an intimate experience for up and coming artists to shine. Over the years we’ve been honored to host artists such as Noah Kahan, Billy Strings, Phoebe Bridgers, Sylvan Esso and more at Higher Ground.
