BURLINGTON, Vt. –Celebrate the outdoors today with the 8th annual stand up for the lake festival.

The festival includes a stand up paddle board race of some of the most elite paddle boarders around the world, including some from Vermont.

The event is hosted by The Spot and Wind and Waves and the proceeds all go to the Community Sailing Center in an effort to get more people out onto the lake.

“When people come in play out on the lake, they have a personal connection to it and keeping our lake clean and healthy, a source of our drinking water for a large population in Burlington, its important to us that we can celebrate it and learn how to take care of it,” says Jen Guimaraes, Associate Director of Community Sailing Center.
