A Guide to the 2016 Burton Summer Sale

The Burton Summer Sale is a dream come true to a lot of people. Back to school shoppers, bargain hunters and gear heads all find what they’re looking for under the big white tent at Burton Headquarters.

This year, the Summer Sale starts on Friday August, 26. All weekend, through Sunday the 28th, Burton will be stocking and re-stocking the shelves with over 55,000 products – all at ridiculously low prices. Sale hours are 7AM to 7PM on Friday and Saturday, and 9AM to 5PM on Sunday.

To find Burton Headquarters, just head to 80 Industrial Parkway in Burlington, Vermont. Feel free to get there early, but please remember that camping is not permitted.     

Summer Sale

If you just can’t wait to bask in the bargains, you’re in luck. The Chill Foundation is offering VIP access to the Summer Sale with the Golden Ticket. Each ticket earns one person early access starting at 2PM on Thursday, a whole day before the general public is even allowed in, and earns you the right to skip the line for the whole weekend. How’s that for a glass elevator?

Five tractor trailer loads and one massive storage facility house the 55,000+ products that we pack into this tent.

Boots, boards, bindings, and more. It's a rummager's dream in here.

Want to know a secret? The best deals are actually on Sunday, as prices get dropped throughout the entire weekend, but due to supply and demand, there’s less gear to select from. Over 10,000 customers walk through the tent in three days, and they’re all hungry for that perfect deal. So while it’s cheaper on Sunday, if you’re looking for something specific, it’s safe to say, “The early bird gets the worm.”

Get sized up by the very people who design and create the products, like Chris Doyle, our in-house rapid prototyper and mad scientist.

It's going down rain or shine, so put on your rummaging gloves, grab your cousins, and come have a blast at the Burton Summer Sale. ∆
