What could be better than spending the summer and fall in Manchester? Vermont is green and lush— and there is so much to do and see!
Of course, some might argue that they prefer enjoying the holidays here with friends and family. They take advantage of all the amazing snow adventures that winter holds.
Fortunately, you no longer have to choose between them!
Manchester Life Magazine, previously published once a year, is now being published twice yearly. Our“ Summer / Fall” and“ Holiday / Winter” issues, showcase some of the biggest stories of Manchester and the Mountains.
In addition, in January 2025, Old Mill Road Media launched THE GUIDE, the new, weekly digital e-blast from Manchester Life Magazine.
THE GUIDE features a curated selection of events happening each week, alongside engaging stories about the local arts and music scene. Its content is also showcased on the Manchester Life Magazine website, providing an accessible and vibrant platform for both locals and visitors alike. It is the newest iteration of the beloved Vermont News Guide, which has been a cornerstone of Southern Vermont for over 70 years.
Both THE GUIDE and Manchester Life Magazine are curated by Megan Demarest. As editor, Megan remains committed to keeping our region vibrant for both locals and visitors alike.
To stay in touch year-round, please sign up for THE GUIDE and visit: manchesterlifemagazine. com
