Venue Information

You won't be totally "roughing it" out there. The Heron is a well-oiled machine when it comes to supporting thousands of campers, and we’re adding a few extra perks just for our Wedstival guests.

For even more details, see the official Heron website.

The Essentials

  • The Bathhouse: A brand-new facility featuring 4 hot showers and flushing toilets. It’s a legitimate festival luxury, so if you need a refresh, this is your spot. (Or opt for a “hippie bath” in the lake).

  • Water Stations: There are several stations throughout the grounds providing safe, chlorinated drinking water. Bring a reusable bottle (or three)—staying hydrated is the #1 rule of the weekend.

  • Porta-Johns: There are ample facilities located near every camping lot. They are serviced regularly throughout the weekend to keep things as civilized as possible.

  • Safety & First Aid: Help is available around the clock. Whether you need a bandage for a blister, an EMT for something more serious, or just help finding a lost item, the professional safety crew and medical volunteers are always on standby. If you’re ever in a pinch, just look for a staff member with a radio or head to the First Aid tent.

Food & Fuel

  • Festival Vendors (Fri–Sun): There is a wide variety of onsite vendors serving everything from breakfast burritos to Thai food. There’s also a keg room (serving beer, wine, and cider) and the Heron Farm Store with a small selection of fresh meat and produce from the land.

  • The "Bring Your Own" Approach: While vendors are great, experienced Heron-goers usually bring a stash of their own favorite snacks and easy meals to keep at their campsite in coolers.

  • Fire & Ice: Ice for coolers and campfire wood are sold onsite during the whole festival. (Please don’t bring outside firewood, as it may contain invasive species that impact our delicate ecosystem.)

The "Wedstival Basecamp”

We’re setting up a dedicated hangout spot near the main stage so we can stay connected throughout the weekend. If you lose your friends or just need a place to sit and regroup, head to Basecamp.

  • The Beacon: Look for our orange and green bandanas—that’s the signal for our group!

  • Communal Comforts: We’ll have a stash of extra snacks, cold beverages, and plenty of chairs and blankets — feel free to take/share drinks and snacks throughout the weekend.

Getting Around

  • Shuttles: There are golf cart shuttles available to help those that need a little extra help getting around. Most volunteers are happy to give anyone you a lift if they have an open seat.

Things to Do

The Heron is a 400-acre playground. Follow your nose, perhaps in one of these directions:

  • See some new music: Wander between the four stages: the Main Stage (“David’s Stage”), the Dance Tent, the Tiger Maple Stage, and the Dragon Stage. We have over 40 artists this year, so keep your ears open for something new.

  • Swim at the beach: Head down to the pond to beat the July heat. It’s the best way to wash off the festival dust. There are lifeguards on duty, so it’s safe for the kiddos.

  • Explore the trails: The property is covered in miles of hiking and biking trails. They all lead back to the center of the action eventually, but they offer a great escape if you need a moment of forest zen.

  • Try a workshop: Get hands-on at the Revival Tent or the Slyboots Circus area. You can jump into a yoga session, learn to play the fiddle or banjo at an instrumental workshop, or even try your hand at African drumming and circus crafts.

  • Visit the Farm: See a working regenerative farm in action and grab some locally-grown snacks at the farm store.
