Jacob’s Pillow’s 94th Dance Festival will bring a wide-ranging summer season to Becket, Massachusetts, from June 24 through August 30, 2026, with performances, talks, exhibits, workshops, livestreams, and community programming featuring artists from the United States and abroad. Spanning 10 weeks and multiple venues across the campus, the festival reflects Jacob’s Pillow’s distinctive role as both a presenting organization and a gathering place for artistic exchange, learning, and public engagement. This year’s program includes major milestones and returns, including San Francisco Ballet’s first appearance at the festival in 70 years, Akram Khan Company’s final touring production, and Martha Graham Dance Company’s centennial year. The season will also open with a gala honoring New York City Ballet principal dancer Tiler Peck as the recipient of the 2026 Jacob’s Pillow Dance Award. Alongside performances, the festival will offer public conversations, archival and gallery exhibitions, educational activities, and family and community events throughout the summer. The Foundation is proud to support Jacob’s Pillow and Tiler Peck. Read the article here.
