3rd Annual Firefly Festival at Duke Farms on July 10 & 11!

Don't miss the 3rd Annual Firefly Festival at Duke Farms on July 10 & 11 from 8 to 11pm - Fun for the whole family!

Grab a flashlight , put on your walking shoes and head over to the Duke Farms’ Firefly Festival to celebrate Nature’s Natural Light Show – the Lightning Bug!

Event Details:

During this family-friendly event you will meander along 1.5 miles of trails taking you through woodlands, meadows and along lakeshores to get a glimpse of fireflies in action. Investigate activity stations along the way where you will learn to “talk” with fireflies, discover what a “glowworm” is, create your own firefly, cast your vote in the ‘Lightening Bug’ versus ‘Firefly’ debate and much more!

WHAT TO BRING (SO YOU DON’T GET EATEN ALIVE BY MOSQUITOES AND ARE PREPARED TO ENJOY THE EVENING): Insect repellant, flashlights, water in a reusable bottle, walking shoes because you will be walking up to a mile and a half, and your sense of adventure!
