Heron Cove Concerts.Com
the best kept Secret in Berkshire entertainment!

In its 7th year of operation, the Heron Cove Concerts are free to the public. The performance series depends entirely upon public and private support in order to continue its mission to offer fee free, quality live entertainment. In our present economic climate, a free, quality program offers an alternative to the average ticket price for better known venues. Heron Cove Concerts operates under the auspices of The Lightwing Institute in the Berkshires, Inc., a 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit organization founded in 1993 to develop creative venues in film, television and internet. In 2005, live performance was added.
Currently, the concerts offer a broad platform, featuring many fine local and regional musicians, who enjoy performing in the heart of our beautiful Berkshire valley, and the intimate atmosphere of Heron Cove. Directly adjacent to the Ashuwillticook Rail Trail, the Heron Cove boat ramp and lakefront compound can accommodate approximately 250 - 300 people. There is parking at and near the cove, but more parking can be added as needed. Many Lakeside residents and visitors park their boats on the lakes to enjoy the music. During Concerts and other private events, the boat ramp is reserved for parking and equipment loading before and after such activities (boat trailers are not able to park at the ramp during these times, but small handcraft can be carried in on foot).
We are an informal, grassroots venue, sharing our site with a multitude of wildlife. At any time, the Eagle, Heron, Swallow, Osprey, and other species are seen flying over our stage. We do encourage donations at performances, but no one is required to contribute. Throughout the summer, audiences of all ages attend our concerts, from individuals to entire families including babies and grandparents. Even the well - behaved dog is permitted. Donations for the Heron Cove Concerts can be made to: The Lightwing Institute in the Berkshires, Inc, P.O. Box L, Cheshire MA 01225. You may also drop off your tax deductible contribution at Lulu on the Lake, our snack bar on Heron Cove, Wednesday through Sunday, 12 - 5:00 pm, except for inclement days.
