This is the most hippie town in Massachusetts, according to Thrillist
The destination is known for its lively arts and music scene.
Looking for a getaway where you can embrace a bohemian lifestyle? Head to Pioneer Valley, says Thrillist.
Thrillist named the most hippie town in every U.S. state, and the city of Northampton nabbed the title for Massachusetts.
“This free-spirited town sits in the Pioneer Valley, an epicenter of hippie get-away-from-it-all mentality in the state,” Thrillist wrote.
The city is known for its music and art festivals and has “some of the most pronouncedly progressive/countercultural politics in America,” according to Thrillist.
“Northampton is also replete with ‘greenery,'” the website wrote, “which you can interpret how you like but is equally appropriate either way.”
