Cultural Experiences in the Berkshires
Where Wellness, Music, Art & Nature Meet
Surrounded by the beauty of the Berkshires, Canyon Ranch Lenox places you right in the center of New England’s most celebrated cultural experiences — from world-renowned music at Tanglewood to museums, theater, galleries, historic estates, and seasonal festivals.
Tanglewood
Summer home to the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Tanglewood is one of the country's leading outdoor music venues. Each season draws world-class talent — from Yo-Yo Ma to James Taylor's annual Fourth of July performance — with evenings unfolding picnic-style under the Berkshires sky. To make your Tanglewood outing even more memorable, Canyon Ranch provides a limited number of tickets to select events, complimentary round-trip transportation, and packed meals (with advance notice).
Jacob's Pillow
Just beyond Lenox, this National Historic Landmark offers the longest running dance festival in the U.S. See a global roster of performers, from renowned companies like the Martha Graham Dance Company to A.I.M by Kyle Abraham, all set within an intimate, wooded campus.
Great Lawn Supper Series
Hosted on property throughout the season, our summer Supper Series features a rotating lineup of guest chefs, including James Beard Award winners. Each evening centers around seasonal menus and a communal dining experience that captures the beauty of the Berkshires.
Shakespeare & Co.
A cornerstone of Lenox's cultural scene, Shakespeare & Company offers a vibrant summer theater season, with performances across indoor and outdoor stages — from classics like “Twelfth Night” to modern productions with a fresh, contemporary edge.
