Cure your cabin fever at Thunderfest!

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 22 from 12-5 p.m. (rain date Sunday, March 23) at the Adams Vistor Center for this year’s ThunderFest!
