Berkshire County is full of summer traditions, including the Pittsfield 4th of July Parade, James Taylor's summer Tanglewood performances, Berkshire Busk in Great Barrington, and the list goes on and on. These traditions and events are what make Berkshire County a prime choice for summer tourists and also why locals continue to live here. One Berkshire County tradition that will not be taking place this year is the 34th annual Stockbridge Summer Arts and Crafts Show, which was scheduled for August 15-16, 2026. The press release also states that registered exhibitors are being notified directly and will receive a full refund of their exhibitor fee. It was reported in late July that there are structural problems with the cupola at the Stockbridge Town Offices building and access to the building has been limited.
