“A hotbed of intellectual and aesthetic adventure.”—New York Times

Described as “part boot camp for the brain, part spa for the spirit” (New York Times) and a “highbrow hotbed of culture” (Huffington Post), Bard SummerScape is an annual summer arts festival.

Since its inaugural season in 2003, the festival has been held in tandem with the Bard Music Festival and features performances of opera, dance, theater, music, film, and cabaret.
