2026 Greater Burlington Community Cup

Description

Greater Burlington Community Cup

The Greater Burlington Community Cup is a community-wide challenge that invites local businesses, nonprofits, and organizations to compete for the title of Community Cup Champion.

Teams earn points by getting out into the community and participating in activities throughout Greater Burlington. Whether it's attending local events, supporting small businesses, volunteering, enjoying live music downtown, exploring local attractions, or taking part in community programs, every activity brings your team one step closer to the top of the leaderboard.

Designed to celebrate community pride and encourage local involvement, the Community Cup is a fun way to engage your team while discovering everything our community has to offer.

At the end of the competition, the team with the highest point total will take home the traveling Community Cup trophy and earn a place on the championship plaque displayed at the Greater Burlington Partnership office.
