Best events in

Florida

There is no shortage of unique events and things to do in the Florida, MA area, where post-industrial spaces now host a lively arts scene. The cultural heart of the region beats in nearby North Adams, anchored by the massive MASS MoCA campus. Beyond major annual festivals, a steady rhythm of monthly gallery walks and weekly pub gatherings keeps the calendar full.

• Wander through downtown North Adams during the monthly FIRST Fridays event, when galleries and shops stay open late and the streets fill with music.
• Experience world-class contemporary art and major music festivals like the annual FreshGrass Festival in the sprawling, repurposed factory buildings of MASS MoCA.
• Catch intimate Americana shows at Studio 9 or find local bands playing at Bright Ideas Brewing on the museum campus.
