About

Hoosac River Lights is a free event which uses art to focus on the History and Future of the Hoosac/Hoosic/Hoosuck/Hoosick River that flows through our Region.

This year we celebrate the trout that live in the Hoosac River. There will be a 36-foot long trout made from living plants to match the Greens, Pinks, Yellows and Blues of the Brook Trout.

From 8 - 10:00 pm there will be various light shows. The theme this year is sky lights to celebrate North Adams' history as the capitol of hot air ballooning in the early 1900's.
