Learn about fireflies and see thousands of them light up the night! This special after-hours event is a truly magical experience.
Fireflies are currently emerging, and should be ready for their first weekend shows by Friday, April 11th.
We will be taking hikes out that evening, and Saturday, April 12th! We plan to take hikes out the following Friday and Saturday, April 18th and 19th as well. We'll assess how they're doing later that week and see if we might get another couple of shows from them the last weekend of April.*
Each event begins at 7:45PM with a short orientation before heading off on the trail. The Firefly Trail is an easy walk of no more than 3/4’s of a mile, and winds through a little-traveled area of O’Leno State Park.
A $15 After-Hours Parking Pass per vehicle (with up to 8 people) is required to attend this event. A $5 per vehicle State Park Entry Fee is also required. If you have an Annual Florida State Park pass, it will only cover the Park Entry Fee. Plan to arrive at the gate no later than 7:15PM, present your Registration Confirmation, and pay the Park Entry Fee (or show your Florida State Park Pass).
A very small number of After-Hours Passes will be available on the actual event dates. Arrive early at the Ranger Station if you are planning on purchasing your Pass on the day of the event. They will be available for purchase starting from 7:00pm to 7:30pm for that day's event only.
