Land Search Factors Explainer and FAQ
First off, thanks to all the folks who have been providing us with rather
thoughtful suggestions and questions over the past few months regarding
Firefly’s future! And a double thanks to those who have volunteered to help
out in various ways, including writing up the documents linked in this
announcement!
One of the more novel parts of this year’s post-event survey
<https://www.fireflyartscollective.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/2025-Surve…>
was a set of hypotheticals on different aspects of land. We recognize that
we didn’t do a good job explaining the purpose or meaning of these
questions back when the survey first went out, so we put together an
explainer that walks through the results of that part of the survey, looks
at how the Bethel site matches up to those results (tldr: pretty good!),
and lays out some other factors that are important for a successful
Firefly. You can see that document here
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NxYAIqX7RMT2hfsBi62UQjM2c90JaVAp1e6XPrZ…>
.
We also compiled responses to some of the more common questions we have
gotten regarding the survey and the land search effort. Some of these were
already addressed in previous announcements but we thought it helpful to
have them all in one place in addition to addressing newer questions. We
plan on continuing to update this document as more questions come up, so if
you have any yourself, please send them to
venue(a)lists.fireflyartscollective.org. You can see that FAQ here

.
We appreciate all the volunteers who make Firefly happen and in particular
those who volunteer during the offseason. Firefly wouldn’t happen without
you!
