Tanglewood 2022 is back and with a full season of concerts for the first time since 2019! The full-season schedule includes 120 events over eight weekends, June 17th through September 3rd, 2022.

You know spring is drawing nearer once the Tanglewood announcements begin, and what a glorious announcement for 2022! A return to the full schedule with the BSO, Boston Pops, Popular Artists Series, and the Fellows of Tanglewood Music Center. After last year’s shortened schedule and the full cancellation of the 2020 season, this is very happy news, indeed!

Tanglewood’s campus in Lenox, MA is only ten minutes from the front door of our Berkshires bed and breakfast, The Inn at Stockbridge. No summer getaway to the Berkshires is complete without a visit to Tanglewood, even when there are no events to attend. The grounds are gorgeous, with lovely views, and make a wonderful picnic spot.

If you hope to make Tanglewood part of your summer getaway plans, be sure to let us know!
