On Saturday, August 14^th (rain or shine) the West Stockbridge Cultural Council will host the 7^th Annual Zucchini Festival in the town center, Rts. 41/102, ¼ mile west of Exit 1 of the Mass Pike. The Festival is for families in the community and visitors alike to gather together to have fun! There are activities for kids & adults: a pet parade, rides (newly designed Gondola!) & races, a zucchini recipe contest, zucchini decorating/weigh-off contests, games, food booths and more.

We will offer the usual favorites: Pet Parade, Gondola rides (newly designed Gondola!), climbing wall and other games, food and craft booths. Live music and entertainment will feature Berkshire local kids’ favorite for daytime music David Grover and Terry A La Berry, and the return of Hooping Harmony. Afternoon music will include the Eagle’s Big Band and returning will be the samba rhythms of Bossa Triba and The Berkshire Bateria with Samba Dancers. The fun begins at 10 AM & continues until about 9:30 PM when fireworks & dancing in the streets (to the great sound of Bootleg) round out the day. Attendance is free, with small fees for tickets at game booths.
