Oh, just over here reminiscing about the fun we had with y’all this summer... 🦩🫧🤘

We’ve been a little quiet on the socials since the festival wrapped, but that’s because we’ve been soaking up all the summer vibes right now. 😎 How about you?

We miss you already, and we’re quietly counting down the days til we’re back together at The Heron in Sherman, NY. In the meantime, look back at a few highlights from the 2026 Great Blue Heron Music Festival. We’ll have more to share very soon!

📸 Big thanks to Jay Strausser, Taylor Lewis and Owen’s Photography for capturing these amazing GBH26 moments.

Happy Heron! Here's the Sunday Performance & Workshop Schedule!

07/04/2026

🔴 Tonight’s the night... Red After Dark hits The Heron at 7pm.

Wear red, head to the stage, and watch the lights shift into a deep crimson glow for about 15 minutes...

This is a little moment where, together, we become part of the art. 🔥 A fitting tribute in the Year of the Fire Horse.

After that, the stage lights ease back to normal, but the woods stay lit red all night long.

❤️💓🍄🩷🌺
