Tanglewood on Parade

Tanglewood on Parade

Tuesday, August 4 - Wednesday, August 5

Music lovers of all ages come to Tanglewood each summer with their blankets, chairs, coolers, wine & candelabras to relax on the expansive Tanglewood lawn and in the open-air Shed to enjoy music. Tanglewood on Parade is one of the summer’s most beloved traditions.

DAY 1 - We'll travel to our hotel for the evening, Holiday Inn, Pittsfield, where we will have time to relax before we travel to Tanglewood. Explore the grounds before the annual midsummer salute featuring the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Boston Pops, and Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra, under the direction of Keith Lockhart & Samy Rachid. Pack a small cooler with a picnic dinner or eat at one of the Tanglewood restaurants. The program will include BEETHOVEN Symphony No. 6, Pastoral Allison LOGGINS-HULL Rhapsody on a Theme by Joni, COPLAND El Salón México, and more. After the show, enjoy the fireworks display choreographed to Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture. We have EXCELLENT seats in the Shed (section 9)! After the fireworks, we'll return to the hotel.

DAY 2 - Visit one of the oldest public display gardens in the region, Berkshire Botanical Gardens, to see their 23 display gardens, all with distinct characteristics. On our guided tour, we'll get an in-depth look at the display gardens, including the historic herb garden, an old-fashioned mixed border garden, Pond and Rock Gardens, a towering arboretum, and stunning seasonal displays including fruit and vegetable beds, and perennials.  Then, we'll tour The Mount, Edith Wharton's classically inspired home. Tour the Main House and enjoy time to explore the elegant Georgian Revival Stable, formal gardens and sculpted landscape on your own. Then we’ll stop in Stockbridge, where you'll have time for lunch (on own) and shopping before we return to the Cape. (B)
