Yo-Yo Show

At 6:30 pm every Friday in June a different world-touring street performer will take to the outdoor stage with a rocking all-ages circus and comedy show, but that’s not all. Local celebrities Maya McCoy and Brent McCoy will host. Chefs Alice Perron and Tony Ingraldi will dish up delicious comfort food at the Café and the Bar, specializing in Barr Hill cocktails, will be open until 9 pm for outdoor socializing under the lights. Bring your family, visit with friends and enjoy a Vermont evening in the Northeast Kingdom with acts that will make you feel like you’re at a European street festival or on the cobblestones at Faneuil Hall. In true street performer fashion, admission is free but performers will pass that hat at the end of the show.
