SHAG IS BACK!

After much anticipation, SHAG 2026 is here!


Spring Hill Arts Gathering returns June 26–28 for three days of art, music, nature, and connection at Spring Hill Vineyards.

This year’s lineup brings together an incredible mix of live performances, creative experiences, and community moments across the hillside — from SHAG with Pride and the House of Yes takeover on Friday, to RIPE, Reggie Watts, Alphonso Horne and the Gotham Kings on Saturday, and a full Family Day on Sunday with Stretch Armstrong, Rock & Roll Playhouse, and children’s art activities.

Join us for a weekend built around creativity, collaboration, and celebration in one of Connecticut’s most beautiful outdoor settings.

Spring Hill Vineyards

Grown on a historic farm that dates back to the 1700s, Spring Hill Vineyards is located in New Preston, Connecticut, along the Shepaug River. Surrounded by rolling hills and open hay fields, our quiet valley offers the kind of setting that grapes love—sunny, rocky slopes and steady weather thanks to the nearby river. We started planting vines here in 2006, and the land has shaped the character of every bottle ever since.


Join us for opening day on Saturday, May 9th!
