Birds of a Feather Music & Nature Festival
The Birds of a Feather Music & Nature Festival is a daylong event, featuring bands, nature workshops, guided trail hikes, craft vendors, food trucks and so much more! Bands will play throughout the day and include national acts such as Sean Rowe, The Rustic Overtones, and Sam James.
The mission of this event:
In partnership with Grafton Lakes State Park and WEQX 102.7, we will bring like-minded individuals together who support the arts, nature and environmental conservation.
100% of the proceeds go to support the nearby Berkshire Bird Paradise, a bird sanctuary for disabled and injured birds. They strive to give them a safe haven to live thrive and rehabilitate as best they can. They are dedicated to educating people to recognize the beauty of Nature’s world, which surrounds our busy lives. We are all part of the web of life and all life is precious.
Restore Rensselaer County’s music festival tradition dating back to the days of the Fox Hollow Folk Festival (1966-1980). The intention is to make this an annual event that supports the local summer tourism economy.

Wild Adriatic presents The Summit
The Summit is the brainchild of the 3 founding members of Queensbury, NY based rock/soul band Wild Adriatic. Growing up in the Adirondacks together has had a profound effect on the music and message of WA. A strong sense of community, collaboration, and love of music is rooted in the area and Wild Adriatic is happy to present a two day event that will continue to help foster those ideals.
In addition to two sets from Wild Adriatic and some of today’s hottest rising live acts including Aqueous, Madaila, Girl Blue, Let’s Be Leonard, and more, the first annual Summit encourages lots of fun collaboration amongst the artists. Getting attendees and performers alike together under one roof, living together for a weekend… it’s bound to get interesting. Two stages of music will keep the party going from 5pm-1am each night.
