FLAME will be on-site the day before the event starts to check out your farts, fire pits, and fire circles.

Dangerous gasses are encouraged, but must be registered. Follow this link for our full Fire Policies <https://www.fireflyartscollective.org/art-at-firefly/fire-art/fire-policies/> . Happy Burning!

Are you arriving at the event later in the week and want to make a big contribution while also maximizing play time? Get those volunteer hours done after the party has ended! Sign up for LNT late crew and spend Monday exploring the woods searching every little inch and seeing what a fantastic job everyone has done leaving no trace. It's light work, mostly walking and picking up occasional small items, but there's a lot of land to cover so we need many hands and feet to be sure we've found every tiny missed MOOP. If you are able to be on a late crew but prefer a bit more physical effort, DPW would love to have you! Sign up for Late Crew <https://volunteer.fireflyartscollective.org/> Need a ride to make this happen or will you have space for another awesome Firefly? Request or offer a ride <https://www.rickyrides.com/firefly-late-crew>. Questions? Email LNT@fireflyartscollective.org or DPW@fireflyartscollective.org. ------------------------------ Art Truck Deadline Imminent Firefl'artists: The deadline to fill out the art truck form <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeagS6BvjEj92AD87QKWYtjHB-gRsjWFISe_ixipM82ELDpQw/viewform> is Wednesday, June 25th!
