Entering its second year, NIGHT LIGHTS at The Heron is one of North America’s most unique tourist attractions. NIGHT LIGHTS is an almost one-mile walk in the woods at night on a trail completely lighted with creative lighting, sound effects and artistic displays. Performances occur on the stage of the appropriately named Café in the Woods. NIGHT LIGHTS is located at a venue called The Heron, which is more commonly known as the home of the Great Blue Heron Music Festival. The Heron is also home to an organic farm.
