Berkshire County has undergone some ups and downs with the weather lately, but that's nothing new. Rain, heat advisories, and cooler temperatures all inside of one week is something Berkshire residents have come to expect.

A combination of rain and extremely hot weather has been known to cancel events in the Berkshires, especially ones that are held outdoors. As a matter of fact, this past Friday's free gazebo concert in Great Barrington was cancelled due to the extreme heat conditions we were experiencing going into the 4th of July weekend. In addition, those concerts tend to suffer cancellations and postponements due to the summer rain.

With that said, Lee Rogers, who heads up the Town of Great Barrington Summer Concert Series, sent us an updated concert schedule over the weekend. Below is the latest schedule of concerts at the gazebo in downtown Great Barrington.
