You’ll Fall In Love With This Quiet Vermont Town That Has More Books Than People
Vermont is filled with many wonderful small cities. Our largest city, Burlington, would pale in comparison to other large cities throughout the country when it comes to population size. But that’s one of the things that makes our state so incredibly unique! It’s not the size of our towns or the population count, but it’s what they have to offer. And while this waterside town in Northern Vermont may be the second-smallest city by population in Vermont, it’s loved by both locals and visitors alike for a number of different reasons.
The village of Newport, Vermont was reported to have a population of 4,589 in the 2010 census.
It sits right alongside Lake Memphremagog, a fresh water glacial lake that's located between Newport, Vermont, United States and Magog, Quebec, Canada.
Every fall, the community and its surrounding communities come together to celebrate Chili Fest in downtown Newport. Every year over a dozen of businesses and individuals compete to make the best chili in town. In addition to delicious chili tastings, there's also live entertainment to enjoy.
They also have Winterfest every year with all sorts of planned activities like craft beer tasting, billiards, and even a fireworks show.
Going off population, it may not seem like this town has much to offer, but take one step into its city limits and you'll realize what a hidden gem it is.
