The excitement continues when the arts return to the Berkshires for the 2024 season. Music, theater, and dance epitomize the arts in the Berkshires. Some would say that the epicenter of culture resides in western Massachusetts. While not far from the truth, the line-up of cultural activities throughout the year in the rolling hills of the Berkshires is impressive.
Not every venue’s calendar is complete for the 2024 season, but the performances already scheduled for the coming year are impressive. Visitors flock to the region from all corners of the earth to appreciate the talents of professional actors, musicians, and dancers. We’re excited to share what we know about this year’s events with our guests.
