Common Ground Festival

Common Ground Festival is an annual celebration in Pittsfield, MA that brings people together through the arts, music, outdoor experiences, and shared moments of connection. Designed to spark joy and foster a deep sense of belonging, the festival embodies the spirit of collaboration and community.

This family-friendly event features performances and creative activities from leading cultural and outdoor organizations, youth groups, and local artists — including Tanglewood, Kripalu, Berkshire Mountain Bike Training Series, Berkshire Museum, and more. By breaking down silos and showcasing the incredible assets across our region, Common Ground helps strengthen community ties and amplify our collective vibrancy.

With food trucks, local vendors, and all-ages programming throughout the day, the festival is free and open to all — inviting everyone to come together and celebrate what makes our community thrive.
