Blue Heron Music Festival

10/15/2026

Dream of playing the Heron? 🎶 We’ve got four stages and we’re looking for solo artists and bands to bring the energy to GBH27. Applications are open through November 24, but last year we closed the link early... so don’t wait.

Applied last year and didn’t hear back? Send us another one. This year might be the year your vibe fits the creative direction we’re planning.

The Heron is so much more than a music festival. 🦄 It’s a magical place where people can gather to celebrate what they love.

This weekend we're celebrating Heron Horse Halloween Weekend 🎃 and there'll be costume contests, ribbons, prizes, and riders in full costume on the trails. 🐴

Saturday night is the one to see. 👻 The lighted, haunted trails come alive for Glow Ride.

You don’t have to ride to be part of it. 🌟 Spectators are welcome, so bring your camp chair and your sweatshirt. Want to make a night of it? Overnight camping is available, but space is limited. What a fun way to close out our camping season. 🧡

Once again, a big thanks to Jay Strausser, Taylor Lewis and Owen's Photography for the pics!
