Had a really awesome weekend at Beyond the Blue 2. Amazing reggae & native music. I fit right in and enjoyed it so much. Met so many friendly people. The campgrounds are spacious and clean. Many bathrooms and a bath house. A concession stand and the nicest owners!! I am very grateful I got to be there for the event and be a vendor. I had so many people support my small business. Thank you to the heron for having me. It was a pleasure and I'm sure I'll be back again!

Can't really say enough positive things about The Heron venue.
You'll notice the positive, welcoming energy as soon as you arrive.
There are a wide variety of Airbnbs available. Beautiful trails meandor through the woods.
There is always something going on to enjoy in this peaceful setting.

Gorgeous campgrounds. Heron is like coming home every summer. The Great Blue Heron Music Festival really is best small festival ever. The grounds are gorgeous, and anyone would be lucky to attend any event here. The farm store is one of WNY's best kept secrets... the BEST farm fresh eggs, and the meat selection is amazing! Best. Steaks. Ever. In July we come for the dancing, music, friends, and sunshine, and we always leave with a cooler full of meat.

EDIT: I'm not sure how to reply, but YES - please feel free to use my comments or photos; I have plenty more from past years as well. The Heron grounds are truly magical. The Great Blue Heron Music Festival always feels like home, the nicest people; it's always the perfect combination of wild fun and peaceful relaxation, where we can all just be ourselves. Night Lights is always a summer highlight as well, we love our NLMF fam!!

This is a lovely farm with locally grown shiitake mushrooms and ethically raised beef. There is land to camp on with drinkable water spigots, and the occasional outdoor power outlet.

Over the summer they host festivals and concerts there are line ups and dates on their website.

The most popular, and longest running one is the Great Blue Heron a three day camping festival, with eclectic music focused around folk and rock genres.

It cost about $150 to get in all weekend. But if you can volunteer and it's free. Or come for only one day and it's less than $100.

There's venders, activities, and performances all weekend. Some people do bring drugs, and there are professional ""sanctuary"" and first aid tents, that can help people having a Bad time. But getting intoxicated is not the "main attraction" there are tons of fun interactive things to do that are completely legal. And most long term attendees are there for the community and music.

One of the most family appropriate music festival fun. Been going my whole life. There's arias designated for kids and teens to play, and a "quiet" camping aria. Crafts, activities and demonstrations that'll you and your kids can try.
