The creative spirit of Woodstock takes center stage.
As the culminating performance of ArterraFest, Square Notes brings together the remarkable artists who live, work, and create throughout our community for an unforgettable evening celebrating the people and places that make Woodstock special.
Inspired by ArterraFest's 2026 theme, "Power of Place," this collaborative performance explores what it means to belong, create, and connect in Woodstock. Through original music, poetry, storytelling, dance, theater, and visual art, local artists transform the Woodstock Opera House into a vibrant showcase of our community's creativity.
More than a performance, Square Notes is a celebration of Woodstock itself, its voices, its stories, and the creative connections that bring us together.

Join a summer tradition that brings us together in a shared vibration and opens us to a meditation on our place in the natural surroundings. Nature makes her own music: thunder, howling winds, bird songs, branches rattling, water gurgling, and so much more. All are welcome to join in the vibration. Drumming is optional- BYO drum or experiment with a provided instrument or stop by simply to enjoy the fire, listen to the music, and make a s’more. This is a free, family-friendly event and there is no registration. Drumming is led by David Stocker, with occasional guest leaders.
