Becket Day

  • Becket Athenaeum 3367 Main Street Becket, MA, 01223 United States (map)

Get ready to celebrate, Becket! The vibrant community, businesses, and organizations of Becket, Massachusetts, are throwing a spectacular second annual Becket Day bash! This day-long festival, originally brought to life by the Becket Arts Center, Dream Away Lodge, Neon Newt, and Route 8 Pub, is all about showcasing the spirit of our wonderful town.

Fall in the Berkshires provides a breathtaking backdrop for our festivities, and this year, we’re bursting with excitement! With an influx of talented artists and makers in recent years, alongside the well-loved Becket Arts Center and cherished local spots like the Dream Away Lodge, Route 8 Pub, Sherwood Shoppe, and (somewhat) newcomers Neon Newt and Himalayan High, plus the brand-new Becket Country Store, there's so much to explore and enjoy!

Join us as we come together to celebrate the creativity, energy, and contributions that make our community shine in Berkshire County. We invite everyone to come out, support our local businesses, and have an absolute blast while doing it! Let’s make unforgettable memories together!

Come to the library's 10:30am Storytime to hear The Breakdancing Bear in Becket which was written and illustrated by Becket and Washington children (also available as a Story Stroll on the library and Becket Arts Center lawns). Take-home craft kits will be available at no cost to the participants throughout the day (while supplies last) including Glass Keychains, Soap Making, Felted Bracelets with Charms, and more! Becket historical maps, prints, and books will be available for purchase. (Save 20% when you mention Becket Day!) Linger for a while and place a piece or two in our community puzzle or make a friendship bracelet!
