Midnight Madness is one of Downtown Bennington's longest-running traditions and one of the first signature events produced by the Better Bennington Corporation when it served as the community's merchant association. Each summer, downtown comes alive with extended shopping hours, sidewalk sales, exclusive discounts, special promotions, and a festive atmosphere that celebrates the unique charm of locally owned businesses. Be sure to check the event schedule as you plan your visit to take advantage of special offers, entertainment, and participating merchants throughout the evening.
