WEST STOCKBRIDGE, MA (April 8, 2019) –  The Berkshires’ premier annual pop-up clothing sale and fundraiser, BerkChique!, returns for its 8th consecutive year on the weekend of Friday, May 17, through Sunday, May 19. The much-anticipated pop-up will be held at the West Stockbridge Historical Society, located at 9 Main Street, West Stockbridge, MA.  

Since its inception in 2012, BerkChique! has donated more than $180,000 to support local nonprofits. This year the sale is being presented by and in support of WAM Theatre and its programs, with additional donations going to the Berkshire Humane Society, Community Access to the Arts, and IS183 Art School of the Berkshires.

The annual event features new and gently-used clothing and accessories in a variety of sizes, including casual and formal tops, dresses, sweaters, blazers, coats, slacks, and jeans collected from some of the most fashionable closets in the Berkshires -– all  at amazing prices. In addition, Vicki Bonnington will again be bringing many hard-to-find and one-of-a-kind designer pieces that you will not see anywhere else.

The sale kicks-off on Friday, May 17 with a First Dibs Shopping Party. Those holding $100 VIP tickets get “first dibs” at the racks from 5:30-8:30pm. From 6:30-8:30pm, $25 ticket holders can join in the fun. The Friday First Dibs Shopping Party features hors d’oeuvres compliments of The Red Lion Inn and goodie bags with treats from Blue Q, Iredale Cosmetics and more. All tickets may be purchased onlineHERE or at the door.

The weekend event will continue with FREE admission for all shoppers on Saturday, May 18 from 10am-4pm and Sunday, May 19 from 10am-2pm.

Vicki Bonnington is the BerkChique! 2019 Event Chair and has been involved with the event since the very first BerkChique! in 2012.  “BerkChique! 2019 will be our eighth event – I can hardly believe it! Every year we get a little bit bigger and a little bit better — and this year will be no exception,” said Vicki. “My motto is, ‘if you come to BerkChique, I promise you will go home with a treasure’, and it has been proven to be true. Everywhere I go, someone tells me about that one great skirt or that fantastic pair of shoes or that one-of-a-kind necklace they bought at BerkChique. Come and check it out — you will not be disappointed!”  

This year, we are also excited to again have the generous support of Lead Sponsor Annie Selke.
