RobertPalooza! is a festival, a raucous party, a mid-afternoon supper theatre, and a celebration of the life and creativity of Robert Herron. It’s happening at Stone Cottage, the storybook home Robert created with his family, and will feature artists and craftspeople practicing the arts Robert honed. You’ll enjoy musicians playing harmonica, guitar and mandolin; poets and painters; woodworkers and leather tooling artists; and friends and loved ones recounting memories of Robert. There will be food and drink aplenty, lots of laughter and tears, too. But, the most important festival ingredient is you! So, please register today and be with us to remember and to celebrate our dear Robert.
Our friend, Peter, captured the spirit of the day and its people in a little highlight video.
What a great day it was!

Stone Cottage
1509 Grasshopper Lane
Gwynedd Valley, PA 19437
There’s parking along Grasshopper Lane – it’s not great, but it will do. We can park some cars on the house’s main driveway and the grass. You’ll be directed if there’s room.
This will be updated regularly, but please know we will have booths with festival fare and drink, as well as artisans and displays of Robert's work and putterings. At 2:30PM we will call everyone into the big top tent to be seated. We will have a seated mid-afternoon supper -- you will be asked for your food preference on the RSVP form. Please eat a late breakfast, as you can think of this meal as a late, late lunch or an early, early dinner, ergo, "mid-afternoon supper!"
The program will have surprises and remembrances of Robert by those of you who indicate on the RSVP you'd like to speak. So, please RSVP and let us know what you'd like to eat and do.
Registering for RobertPalooza! helps us plan for the appropriate comfortable space and seating and food and drink for everyone. Please RSVP today, here.
