GREENFIELD

Greenfield is the county seat of Franklin County and the commercial center of the upper Pioneer Valley, with a performing arts venue that anchors the town's cultural calendar.

Hawks & Reed Performing Arts Center is the draw — a multi-room venue in a converted downtown building that books live music, comedy, DJ nights, and community events. Greenfield Garden Cinemas provides movie programming.

Hawks & Reed has become a regional destination for western Massachusetts music fans. The programming is eclectic, the prices are reasonable, and the venue has the worn-in feel of a place that musicians genuinely enjoy playing.

Tip: Hawks & Reed is on Main Street in downtown Greenfield, walking distance to restaurants and shops. The venue has multiple rooms, so check which space your show is in.
