This awesome outdoor winter festival was born in 2012 as a downtown activity after the Thunderbolt Ski Race on Mount Greylock. It has become an annual winter outing for residents and visitors alike!
Join us on Saturday, March 21 from 12-5 p.m. (rain date Sunday, March 22) at the Adams Visitor Center for this year’s ThunderFest!
Held outdoors at the Adams Visitor Center at 3 Hoosac Street, admission is free to a festival full of music, food and fun in celebration of winter in the Berkshires. There will be live musical acts, local craft beer and local wine, great food, outdoor recreation and craft exhibitors. Activities include a toasty campfire with marshmallows and other activities for the kids. Leashed pets are welcome, so it’s fun for the whole family! Historic Train Rides by Berkshire Scenic Railway will also be available, right across Hoosac Street at Adams Station. The festival runs from 12-5pm.
This year’s hot food vendors include the la Chalupa y la Enchilada, Adams Lions Club, Bezzle’s BBQ, and M&Js Taste of Home.
This year the musical acts at Thunderfest will be Uncle Stash from 12-2 and Whiskey City from 2:30-5!
From our very first event, ProAdams has always featured local craft brewers and vintners. This year’s ThunderBrews will include a featured custom brew from Antimony plus favorites from Sam Adams, Long Trail, and Truly. Balderdash Cellars will also be there serving their fantastic wines. A hard cider will also be available this year!
As always, non-alcoholic beverages will be offered by many vendors.
This wouldn’t happen without our sponsors: Adams Community Bank, Berkshire Gas, Chee’s Chinese Cuisine, Bountifare Restaurant and SBM Insurance!
Also, thanks to the in-kind support of Berkshire Scenic Railway Museum, the Town of Adams, Youth Center Inc., and the many volunteers that donate their time and efforts.
