4TH OF JULY FIREWORKS TRAIN
Adams, 8:15 PM

This year, ditch the folding chairs and the frantic search for a parking spot. Trade the stress of the 4th for a front-row seat on the July 4th Fireworks Train. ike it’s 1950:

You’ll board the train in Adams and cruise right to a private viewing area in North Adams. You stay on the train (or right next to it) for the "magnificent" fireworks display, then hop back on for a smooth, traffic-free ride home while everyone else is stuck in a gridlock. It’s basically the VIP pass of the Berkshires.

Departure: Saturday, July 4th, at 8:15 p.m., Location: 4 Hoosac Street, Adams, MA.
