Performing Arts
A part of the Berkshires that needs no introduction, the performance arts so engrained in the culture of the Berkshires that many ignore the plethora of other options offered here. Many areas in New England offer hiking and biking, but only we can call ourselves the summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Only we can boast the ability to go zip lining in the morning, picnic from the highest point in Massachessets in the afternoon, and catch a world class concert at night. Explore the many opportunities to experience some once-in-a-lifetime culture during your visit.
