Burlington‘s beautiful waterfront
Venue
The Film House seats 220 people in comfortable, tiered seats, and features a high-quality sound system and film screen. Just outside is the Lake Lobby, a foyer where attendees are served lunch and drinks and snacks during the breaks. There’s a small deck off the lobby that provides spectacular views of Lake Champlain and a small courtyard on the other side of the building with benches surrounded by smaller trees.
Park
The closest parking lot is the privately owned Pease Lot directly across Lake Street from Main Street Landing. Also nearby is the Hilton Burlington parking garage. Limited metered spots are also available, but please note those tend to have a 3 hour maximum. Plan enough time to walk to the venue from your parking spot.
