Eat, Drink, Be Merry
Myrtle Beach is one of the South’s quintessential coastal destinations, offering
an abundance of family-friendly attractions from kitschy minigolf courses and
Ripley’s Aquarium to the sandy strands that put the area on the map. But the
area is also a foodie’s paradise, boasting 1,700 eateries. To experience the local
culinary scene in all of its glory, pay a visit at the beginning of June for the week-
long Coastal Uncorked Food and Wine Festival. Expect beer and wine
tastings, cooking demonstrations, and farm-fresh treats. The beach can wait.
Pit Stop
That roar you hear bouncing off the mountains just might be coming from something
with four wheels rather than four legs. The Pocono Raceway comes alive each
summer for three amazing races:
The Pocono 400: This annual NASCAR event is held from June 5 to 7
The Pennsylvania 400: July 31 to August 2
The Pocono IndyCar 500: August 22 to 23
Car racing not your thing? There’s also a pair of fairs worthy of your attention. This
year, the Carbon County Fair runs from August 3 to 8, and is packed with rides,
entertainment, and food. And from August 23 to 29, the West End Fair has farm
animals, a midway with classic carnival rides, and homemade delicacies.

Dance Fever
The Berkshires area of western
Massachusetts is renowned for its
natural beauty and outdoor activities
such as hiking and fishing. But the
area is equally celebrated for its cul-
tural offerings: The Norman Rockwell
Museum and the Tanglewood sum-
mer music festival probably come to
mind, especially if you’re from the
Northeast. Perhaps lesser-known is
the Jacob’s Pillow Festival, the
longest-running international dance
gathering in the country. The 2015
event, which runs from June 14
through August 24, offers a bevy of
innovative and vibrant productions.
Ballet highlights include the classic
Cinderella and Jessica Lang’s
The Wanderer. Other performances
include the tap-centric The Blues
Project and Martha Graham Dance
Company’s modernist stylings. You
don’t need to bring your old
Capezios to enjoy these shows —
just your love of dance!
