Terms and Conditions
Credit & Cancellation Policy
Limited tickets are available for each workshop, event, and sometimes each price tier. Purchase early to ensure that you get what you want. If you’re unable to use your ticket, you have two options:
1) Get credit for future events and classes. The credit is a dollar amount that can be applied towards any ticket minus a 5% processing fee (see note below), while tickets last, and is not an actual ticket. Credit is valid for 3 years.
2) Transfer your ticket to someone else.
To receive credit or transfer your ticket to another person, notify us in writing by email at info@fireflygathering.org at least 14 days prior to the start of the workshop or event you’ll miss. No post-deadline requests accepted.
Note: Starting Jan. 1, 2023, credits that are incurred for canceling a ticket at least 14 days before a workshop or the annual gathering will have a 5% processing fee subtracted from their purchase amount. The credit amount will then be applied towards a gift certificate (learn about gift certificates here) and can be used for any purchase on our website for up to 3 years after the credit is issued. Credits incurred before Jan 1, 2023 will not have a processing fee and must contact info@fireflygathering.org at least 14 days prior to an event so that your credit can be applied if tickets are available. All credits are good for 3 years.
Firefly retains the right to cancel any event or class at any time due to low registration, public health concerns, or other unforeseen circumstances. In the event of a cancellation, all tickets will automatically become credit for future events and classes.
PLEASE NOTE:
- No credit request taken by phone
- No post-deadline requests accepted
- There are no credits for no-shows
- We do not offer refunds

Parking Fees - Annual Gathering
At Deerfields, every vehicle needs a Parking Pass. Most people choose the Offsite Satellite Parking Pass ($20) which includes a free shuttle to and from the event for transporting yourself & your gear. (NOTE: gear must be carried from the drop-off area to your chosen campsite). While most folks choose the Satellite Parking option, some prefer to camp in or near their cars, or park onsite for easier access to their vehicles. We have options to meet all of these needs, as detailed below. Prices are for the entire event and cannot be prorated. All onsite parking passes are very limited and thus sell out early.
*NOTE: No cars will be admitted onsite without an onsite parking pass – no exceptions!
- Offsite Satellite Parking – $20 / vehicle- This field is fairly flat and is located behind the Registration Tent, on the left just as you turn onto Watagnee Trail. Once here, you will take the free shuttle to get you and your gear onsite (no driving onsite is allowed with this option). Purchase now to expedite your entry to the event.No camping of any kind is allowed in the Satellite Parking lot.
- Onsite Parking – $60 / vehicle – For those who want their car closer or don’t want to use the shuttle to transport gear, we have a limited number of onsite parking spots. Gear can be carried on foot from the parking lot to your chosen campsite site- no driving up to campsites to drop off gear, camping in vehicle, or camping next to the vehicle is allowed in these spots. Onsite parking spots are located on a steep hill and a working parking brake or chalks are necessary. Space is limited.
- Onsite Car Camping – $100 / vehicle – For folks who want to camp on the ground next to their car in a tent or other structure of choice. Parts of this area are on a slight slope. This area is inside the event grounds and close to the main fields. Space is very limited.
- Onsite Small RV/Bus/Van Parking – $100 / vehicle – For folks who sleep in their vehicles and do not need access to utilities. This area is flat, but you cannot lay down tents, mats, rugs or anything large that may smother the grass. Limited to vehicles 25 ft or shorter. This field is inside the event grounds and close to the main fields. Space is very limited.
- Onsite Large RV/Bus Parking – $150 / vehicle – For RV/Buses larger than 25 ft. Our large RV spaces have access nearby to electricity. The location is a 5-8 minute walk from the main event space. Space is very very limited.
