CHARLTON

Charlton is a central Massachusetts town that gained a major entertainment venue when Tree House Brewing Company built its expansive campus, including an outdoor amphitheater.

The Pavilion at Tree House Brewing Co. is the draw — an outdoor concert venue attached to one of New England's most popular breweries. The Pavilion hosts touring acts and events during warmer months, combining craft beer with live performance in a rural setting.

Tree House turned Charlton into a destination. You drive here specifically for the brewery and the shows. The pastoral setting is a contrast to the urban and suburban venues that dominate the rest of the state.

Tip: Tree House is on Route 20. Arrive early to explore the brewery and grounds before a show. Events are seasonal and tickets sell quickly.
