November 14 – January 3
Each year, the Berkshire Museum spruces up the galleries with scores of festive trees decorated by community organizations, businesses, and school children. This year, to mark the Festival’s Silver Anniversary, the trees have been inspired by the theme Silver Bells.
Take a stroll through our shiny, shimmery forest. It’s a winter wonderland that will delight the entire family! Hop on the Pedal-a-Watt stationary bike and see if you can light up a tree with pedal power. Become a part of this beloved Berkshire holiday tradition.
Mark your calendar for these special events throughout the holiday season!
