Don’t worry— there’s still time to snag your BerkChique! First Dibs Party ticket for June 5th. First Dibs gives you early access to the racks so you can choose your favorite finds before the big sale starts on June 6th and 7th. Added perk? We’ll be serving a Ventfort Hall Tea and Nejaimes will sponsor a wine bar! Visit berkchique.org for tickets. See you there!!
I've got two Berkshire ghost events coming up at the end of the month! Strange Fancies at Arrowhead in Pittsfield is a talk about the supernatural influences on the writings of Herman Melville and Nathaniel Hawthorne, followed by a lantern-lit ghost walk of the 18th century farmhouse. This will take place on Friday, May 29. And the ghost tour at Ventfort Hall in Lenox is an immersive storytelling experience in an atmospheric Gilded Age mansion. This one will take place on Saturday, May 30. Each event is unique, each location quite distinct. I hope to see you at one or both!

SAVORING THE BERKSHIRES 🍴✨
May and June are the "sweet spot" in the Berkshires; crowds are light, gardens are blooming, and local dining scene is buzzing! We still have select dates open for May and June stays. 🗓️
🍽️ THE FOOD SCENE: BEYOND THE PLATE
We believe a great meal is about the people behind it.
Cafe Triskele (Lee): We absolutely love Gilbert and Rebecca; their passion makes every dinner feel like a gathering of friends. It’s a must-visit while you’re in town!
Walk-to-Dinner Perks: Staying at BHS means you're steps away from Cafe Triskele, a burger at 51 Park or a crepes at Starving Artist—no parking required!
🎨 ARTWEEK BERKSHIRES (May 15-25)
ArtWeek is back and bigger than ever with nearly 300 free events county-wide; it’s the perfect week to "stumble across" an open studio in Stockbridge or a performance in Great Barrington.
🎸 THE MUSIC & VIBE
Friday: Catch Wanda Houston at Firefly Gastropub (a local legend!).
Saturday: Head to the Buttonball Barn for the Jamie Mclean Band or enjoy a sunset set at Balderdash Cellars with Zarvis and Pug.* @balderdashcellars is also participating in Art Week with artists on the grounds. Come watch!
Sunday: Cozy up at The Lion’s Den with Junkins & Friends.
🌿 NATURE & SHOPPING
Hike of the Week: Explore the 2.5 miles of serene trails and beaver ponds at Bob’s Way in Monterey.
Shopping: Don't miss And All That Jazz in Great Barrington for the best summer antiques, or stop by Finders Keepers right here in Lee for a unique souvenir.

Walk by flashlight through this historic estate listening to tales of its hauntings. Stand in the places where the eerie encounters occurred, hear first-hand accounts of those who experienced them, and maybe even experience something unusual yourself.
I hope to see you there in the shadows!

My ardent thanks to @berkshireoperafest for trusting us with Eleanor of Aquitaine's fire, Carlisle Floyd's music, and Phyllis Curtin's legacy. It was a joy to be in collaboration with @grant_august once again (looks like we finally got our grad recital!), and in the storied @ventforthall , no less. Channeling Eleanor then speaking with the community alongside Brian and Claudia, with family and friends all around, is a memory I'll cherish. My heart is full!
