Free Live Music Coming to Great Barrington Beginning in June

Berkshire County is soaking in the spring weather, but summer will be here before you know it. Summer in the Berkshires is about swimming, hiking, biking, grilling, camping, and live music. It won't be long until you start seeing live music pop up throughout the county. The nice thing about these concerts are many of them are free or very affordable. There's nothing like watching a live local band perform outside while having the beautiful Berkshires as the group's backdrop.

Speaking of live music, the Town of Great Barrington Summer Concert Series is returning for another year. Per usual, the series is packed with a stellar lineup of local, talented musicians.

The concerts are free and take place on Fridays and Wednesdays from 5:30 - 7:15 pm at the Gazebo in downtown Great Barrington. Here is the schedule so far for this summer (all concerts are weather permitting/subject to change)
