Holiday Freebies in North Adams: Sunday Dec.9 is going to be a Family Affair

The little city may be the home of contemporary art, but its long-time residents are experts at something else: the Christmas Holidays. While there is a lot happening all over the Berkshires during December, we pick Sunday, December 9 as the ideal day to visit North Adams and share in some free and low cost seasonal fun. We just love the movie Home Alone and it’s being screened for free by the new managers of the North Adams Movieplex. Lots more follows as the afternoon and evening unwind:
