The first Blue Heron was held in 1992[1] The festival is a gathering of people who come together to form a harmonious community over the course of 3 days in the summer. Western New York provides the setting for such a festival, with any July heat being moderated by Lake Erie, sometimes referred to as a natural air conditioner.
