The Marlboro Music Festival, founded in 1951 has transformed the world of chamber music and played a vital role in developing generations of new musical leaders. This year Marlboro celebrates 75 years. https://www.marlboromusic.org/ Campers will have the option to attend up to three concerts, Friday, Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon. The drive from the campground to the festival is ~40 minutes.
Accommodations will be tent camping for 3 nights, at Foolhardy Hill, campground in Charlemont Mass. Foolhardy sports a full outdoor kitchen and other amenities. https://www.foolhardyhill.com/
As in the past, first night's dinner will be takeout to the campsite. Friday, Saturday and Sunday breakfasts will also be planned at campsite.
Group rides will be offered Thursday afternoon, Friday, Saturday and possibly Sunday morning. Multiple routes suitable for C* and B riders will be made available, including an optional day ride for spectacular views at the top of Mount Greylock, Mass’ highest peak at 3,491 ft.
$200 tour fee includes camping for three nights, takeout dinner Thursday night, and breakfasts.
*This tour is contingent on securing campground reservations. Foolhardy Hill takes reservations starting May 1, so to maximize the opportunity to run the tour we are offering a primary and back up date.
Music festival tickets will be organized when we have confirmation of campground, after May 1 when we will be able to confirm the tour date. We will offer the option to purchase Marlboro tickets as a group and in past years have received substantial group discounts.
Limit 8 riders, thereafter a waiting list. To register, email Jerry Szubin. If the tour sells out, tour slots will be filled by a lottery. Send $200 tour fee.
