Spring is when the Berkshires comes alive – where rolling hills turn green, wildflowers bloom, and the air carries the freshness of the season. This is a perfect time to experience a serene Berkshires getaway before the summer crowds arrive.
Nature and Scenic Beauty
Enjoy spring hiking in the Berkshires, explore waterfalls at their fullest, or take a scenic drive through the rolling hills. Every moment feels quieter, calmer, and more connected to nature. Trails are easily accessible but occasionally muddy, so wear proper attire.
Art, Culture, and Local Experiences
When the weather doesn’t cooperate, spring also awakens the Berkshires’ rich arts scene. Galleries reopen, small-town shops welcome visitors, and farmers markets begin offering seasonal produce.
The Berkshires is home to many Spring special events including:
Daffodil & Tulip Festival @ Naumkeag (April)
Pittsfield City Jazz Festival @ Downtown Pittsfield (April)
ArtWeek Berkshires @ Berkshires Art Center (May)
Berkshires International Film Festival @ Lenox & Great Barrington (May)
An Affordable time to visit the Berkshires
Lodging in the Berkshires can be expensive on peak summer and fall weekends. However, in spring room rates are cheaper and there is still plenty to do. Room rates are often at their lowest in April and still rather low in May all the way through Memorial Day. And if you are an artist attending ArtWeek Berkshires – you can even trade art for a free room at Berkshires Untold – email staycurious@berkshiresuntold.com for more info!
A Relaxed, Boutique Experience
Berkshires Untold is one of the region’s most charming boutique hotels and is perfectly located for special events like Pittsfield City Jazz Festival and ArtWeek Berkshires. Here, spring mornings are meant for slow coffee with mountain views, afternoons for exploring, and evenings for unwinding in thoughtfully designed spaces. A stay here turns a spring visit into a true escape. Spring is also a great time to find the best prices for Berkshires Untold and other Berkshires boutique hotels.
