Jacob's Pillow is a National Historic Landmark and National Medal of Arts recipient, home to America's longest-running international dance festival. It is a beautiful dance venue in a wooded area, a tranquil and inspiring cultural centre giving space and support to a variety of performing dancers. The complex of historical buildings is surrounded by beautiful, beautifully maintained nature. It is a very inspirational venue for the artistic palate, featuring many performances and workshops. Attendees enjoy ticketed performances, as well as free events like community days and pillow talks. The outdoor stage is a delight. Reviews note wonderful, joyful performances where dancers work well together, glide across the stage, and clearly put 110% into their performance, leaving audiences in awe and beyond happy. While specific tastes vary, many are lifelong fans and converts who look forward to attending for years. Parking is plentiful.
Ive been here many a times. Definitely a welcoming place. The new additions look fantastic. You wouldn't be disappointed. There is something here special waiting for everyone.

Going to shows on the outdoor stage is one of my favorite things to do in the summer. There’s no view like it.

Spectacular location with world-class performances. This place is really special. Indoor and outdoor stages. Lots of picnic areas but also full bars. The grounds are stunning. The real draw are amazing artists.
