Festival of Trees at the Berkshire Museum and Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” on stage at The Colonial Theatre are two great ways to enjoy the holiday season in the Bekrshires!
There’s always lots to do and see in the Berkshires and the holiday season is no exception. Bright lights, colorful decorations, special events, and holiday-themed stage shows set the scene for a magical time of the year.
One popular and traditional event is the annual Festival of Trees at the Berkshire Museum now through December 31st, 2016.
The Festival of Trees is a Christmas Tree decorating event that businesses, schools, and other groups particiate. Each year, people compete to decorate their tree in innovative and original ways while also sticking to that year’s Festival of Trees theme.
This year’s theme is a salute to the silver screen. Currently, the Berkshire Museum exhibit contains over 100 trees decorated in celebration of classic cinema. You never know what you’ll see, the only guarantee is that you’ll be both entertained and bedazzled!

Another great Christmas tradition, Charles Dickens’ classic “A Christmas Carol” is on stage all month at the Colonial Theatre through the Berkshire Theatre Group.
