You know summer is in full swing when The Chalet at MASS MoCA returns! Spend the evening in our beloved beer garden that features live performances and a bar designed from objects in artist Dean Baldwin’s 2013 exhibition Oh, Canada.

With riverside regulars and friendly new faces, summer’s most magical memories happen at The Chalet—in the midst of the museum, to the hum of local music, under the Berkshire stars. Free for all.
