Burlington is becoming a community that makes room for joy. 💗
At Play Intention’s 3rd annual Hat Bop, people of all ages dreamed up wildly creative hats and took to the runway to open SEABA’s STRUT Fashion Show at Art Hop. From clouds and hot-air balloons to a garden of blooming ears, every creation sparked pure delight. And each person was cheered on as they walked the runway.
These are the moments that help us feel connected, supported and part of something joyful.
That’s why we make space for community play. It gives us a reason to come together, to express ourselves, and to celebrate what each person brings.
To everyone who made a hat, walked the runway, or cheered from the crowd: you helped create this experience. We’re so happy to be part of this imaginative, big-hearted Vermont community.
What would you dream up for next year’s hatwalk? 🎩✨
