Every vehicle needs a Parking Pass. Prices are for the entire event and cannot be prorated. All onsite parking passes are very limited and thus sell out early. Please consider joining a carpool!
We have not yet launched Onsite Car Camping or Small RV parking. Folks who have purchased their Annual Gathering Tickets early will get pre-launch access to these parking options!
Parking is extremely limited for everyone. Please consider adding yourself as a carpooler after you purchase a ticket, or joining in an existing carpool / carpool waitlist.

PLEASE NOTE:
Firefly Gathering wants all of our participants to feel strong and empowered in their bodies, hearts, and minds. To this end, our community will actively address language or behavior that is non-consensual, racist, sexist, homo/transphobic or harmful in any way, and if need be, remove folks from the event. We ask that you help facilitate a compassionate and inviting experience for your fellow attendees by being aware of your own language (both verbal and non), attitude and behavior. Please alert us if you witness any issues that may need our attention.
It is our goal that everyone here feels heard, supported and free. If at any time you do not feel comfortable, please speak with our security team or someone on staff. Please communicate respectfully, even when you disagree, listen with an open mind and heart, and express your gratitude.
Parents and guardians, you are fully responsible for your children at all times during The Firefly Gathering. Any care that Firefly staff & volunteers provide is purely supplemental and educational. If your family decides to participate in the Youth Village programs, you agree to attend a parent orientation to inform yourself of the program’s expectations and do your best to follow them.

Lily is an artist, creator, and dreamer. Since a very young age, she has been immersed in the natural world and draws heavy inspiration from the wild. Though her medium changes frequently, Lily’s art and expression always incorporate an element of the organic and unpredictable. She got her associate in fine arts in 2023, and now volunteers at her school as a ceramic studio monitor. She hopes to open a studio of her own one day to have a place to teach and inspire others. In addition to doing commission work, Lily has been creating many graphics for The Firefly Gathering since 2019. Lily grew up in the Earthskills community from the time she was eight years old, so having the opportunity to grow and give back in so many ways has been incredibly fulfilling. No matter where she ends up, this group of people and ideas will always hold a special place in her heart.
