Parking Passes Now On Sale (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
by The Firefly Official Announcement List 13 Jun '23

13 Jun '23

Parking Passes Now On Sale (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ Parking passes are now on sale for ticketed participants. You can buy a parking pass by visiting your ticketing dashboard. (´･ᴗ･ ` ) Passes are $30 online through June 30th, and $60 at the gate. Each car needs a parking pass, but it can be purchased by either the driver or a passenger. ฅ (＾• ω •＾) ฅ We’re offering a limited number of Designated Transportation Vehicle (DTV) passes this year. These passes are for vehicles (usually box trucks) that carry a bunch of participant gear and thus enable people to carpool where they wouldn’t otherwise be able to. (⊃｡•́‿•̀｡)⊃ Rule of thumb: to qualify for a DTV pass, your vehicle must eliminate at least 2 other vehicles. If your box truck is only carrying camp infrastructure, it’s likely not a DTV. Questions?

Ice Hole now accepting donations
by The Firefly Official Announcement List 04 Jun '23

04 Jun '23

Ice Hole is happening! Donate to the ice fund here: https://www.paypal.com/pools/c/8UJ6AzGj4w Do you want to get ice from a local ice vendor to refill your cooler during firefly? Here's how it works: Donate money, in any amount, toward the ice fund. I'll call the ice vendor and make an order, and then I'll take the money we raise and buy as much ice as we can get and have it delivered to Firefly on each day of the festival. During Firefly, when the ice vendor shows up, if you're around, you can help unload and stack the ice, and then carry some bags of ice up the hill and spread the word about the ice delivery so we can get it all into coolers before it melts. The Ice Hole is a collaborative project that everyone can participate in: by donating money, distributing ice to neighbors, bringing coolers to store it in, making and sharing fresh food and frosty beverages, and making sure there's plenty of ice all over the mountain for when people need it. So when you see the Ice Hole fill up, grab a bag or two, spread the word, pass it around, make sure it gets used, and we'll get more the next day. Let me know in the comments here what days of the festival you think we should get the ice delivered, and what times would be ideal, and how much ice you think we should get on each day. With love from my frosty lair, Ice Ice Abby

We have a process and a hierarchy for determining if something is ok to bring to Firefly, and haranguing Kirk personally is *not it*.

Firefly SMOL Art Grants now open for submissions
by The Firefly Official Announcement List 03 May '23

03 May '23

*SMOL grant applications for Firefly are now open. *You can apply for a SMOL grant to help be part of making art at Firefly. • Grants are $40 - $149, for small projects. • Grants are available until June 20. • Apply via this Google form. <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Df6kYkXFgBGH1Hbwny6rCuOExQ2aG9wMgqgfnc1Unr…> *The Details: *Over the years, the Firefly Arts Collective (FAC) has been proud to provide grant support to Firefly artists to enable them to express and fulfill their varied creative visions. These grants are intended to support and promote radically-expressive, community-based, interactive and/or collaborative projects that help define and shape the creative core of the event. Art is a central part of Firefly, and the event wouldn't be the same without the wonderful pieces that have been brought to Vermont over the years. Bringing art is a great way to add a piece of yourself to the event and contribute/participate in a meaningful way. We are now accepting applications for our *final* grant category, Smol Grants! These grants are available between $40 and $149, and are meant to help cover expenses associated with projects of a small (or “smol”) size or scope. We love smol projects! Small projects fill the woods with art and give an opportunity to people who don’t have the time or resources to commit to something bigger. They are particularly designed to encourage creation by new participants and participants who haven’t brought art to Firefly before, but everyone is welcome to apply! These grants are evaluated on a rolling basis, from now until June 20th, aka two weeks before the event. For more information, _see the info on the website <https://www.fireflyartscollective.org/participate/art-at-firefly/art-grants…>_ . *_How to submit?_* Smol grants, being smol, have a smol application process as well! _Just visit our google form_ <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Df6kYkXFgBGH1Hbwny6rCuOExQ2aG9wMgqgfnc1Unr…> . *_What to know more about Firefly Art Grants in general?_* See _our page on the Firefly website_ <https://www.fireflyartscollective.org/participate/art-at-firefly/art-grants/> . *_Other questions?_* Email us: grants(a)fireflyartscollective.org <3 Firefly Art Grant Core
