Entering its 26th year, the Berkshires Arts Festival has become a 4th of July summer tradition, attracting thousands of art lovers who come to the Berkshires for theater, dance, music, and art.
While most cultural events, such as Tanglewood, Jacob's Pillow, and the Berkshires Theatre Festival, take place in the evening, the Berkshires Arts Festival has become the chosen daytime attraction for thousands of visitors. Artists across the country have discovered a strong customer base for higher-priced work and the potential to produce significant sales.
