Summer is not complete for us unless we have at least one Tanglewood event. Lawn or covered shed" tickets are available. Lawn seats are worth the effort if you bring a picnic even if not as elaborate as some (with candles and tablecloths). Food is available for purchase to simplify the planning.

This city is at the crossroads of routes 2 and 91 and is home to the Green River Music Festival. Greenfield offers shopping options downtown as well as outdoor malls. Big Y supermarket, Dollar Store, Verizon, Staples etc. are near the Friendly's intersection. Downtown are Greenfield's Co-Op (an organic market), a weekly farmer's market, a movie theater, and my favorites, Hope and Olive, and Magpie restaurants. The People's Pint is also fun.
