It’s happening in Hampshire County – indoors and out! Art meets agriculture at Art in the Orchard, an outdoor sculpture garden nestled into a working fruit farm. Enjoy outdoor dining at Summer on Strong, before you catch joyful string trio Hot Club of Cowtown at Northampton’s famous Iron Horse. In Amherst, bring the family out to Summer Nights at The Carle for an evening of food, music, and art at The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art. You’ll find live music of all stripes at The Drake, while Amherst Cinema dazzles with its twice-weekly Big Screen Classics series, where you can catch iconic Hollywood fare as it was meant to be seen. Experience the outdoors in a whole new light when you take a Full-Moon Paddle on the Connecticut River with Adventure East. Enjoy a 6-mile paddle bathed in the light of the stars and the full moon and surrounded by the sounds of nocturnal wildlife. Life is an adventure in Hampshire County!
