5th Annual Heron Kickoff Barnapalooza Hoedown

It’s happening again, y’all.

Grab your crew and wander down to the south end of The Heron for the 5th Annual Heron Kickoff Barnapalooza Hoedown; the official launch party of the Great Blue Heron Music Festival.

Date: Thursday, July 2rd, 2026

Location: 2355 Waits Corners Road
(South End of The Heron Grounds)

Entry: Totally FREE

Presented in partnership with the Heron family and the lovable mischief-makers at PFM Ventures, this year’s Barnapalooza will once again transform the barn into a big ol’ party. Whether you’re already wristbanded up or still in line for the Heron, come join the pre-fest party.

Expect three wild sets of music, an onsite food truck, and cold drinks flowing until the floor gets good and stomped.

Lineup to be announced.

 Come early. Stay late. Dance like no one has cell service.
