Please register your fire art before you get on site. FLAME will be on-site the day before the event starts to check out your farts, fire pits, and fire circles. Our job as Fire Core is to make sure everyone gets to enjoy the fire safely, so we'll be looking to make sure:
Debris and tripping hazards are cleared away from fire pits,
Fires have a 5-gallon bucket of water and a shovel or bucket of dirt, and
Fire circles are ready to go for spinning! Dangerous gasses are encouraged, but must be registered.
Follow this link for our full Fire Policies.
Happy Burning!
And if you have any other questions you can email Claudia or Matta at fire@fireflyartscollective.org.
Have you read all the Glowbe newsletters, official emails, website, Facebook and Discord posts, and wiki page but still have Firefly questions?
The Firefly Orientation presentation is for you. It's a quick overview of policies, cores and resources with cute illustrations!
The perfect thing to send to your enthusiastic but clueless campmate!
Firefly Orientation Presentation
Contact jennz@fireflyartscollective.org for questions about the presentation.
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!
Need a ride to make this happen or will you have space for another awesome Firefly? Request or offer a ride.
Questions? Email LNT@fireflyartscollective.org or DPW@fireflyartscollective.org.
Firefl'artists: The deadline to fill out the art truck form is Wednesday, June 25th! If you've been waiting for the last minute, it is now. Art Truck Loadup will be held on June 28th and 29th. This deadline gives our Truck Tetris Wizards time to strategize about packing layout.
Information for art truck users and volunteers will be emailed no later than June 27th.

The Conduct Committee is now on hiatus through July 22nd.
The Firefly Incident Report Form is always available, including during the hiatus. However, we will not be addressing incidents reported to us during the hiatus until after we resume.
For concerns and emergencies, please email the Firefly Arts Collective Board of Directors: board@fireflyartscollective.org.
While on site during the Firefly 2025 event, please bring current or ongoing concerns to Rangers or other Safety volunteers. If you need to report an urgent and sensitive matter for on-site Firefly leadership, ask a Ranger to connect you to the Board Member on Call.
You can also contact us at conduct-committee@fireflyartscollective.org.
TL;DR: Glory Glory Hole-lelujah offers quests both G- to X-rated. Fill out the GGH survey to help them meet your needs.
Please fill out the GGH survey to help Firefly's only Quest-giving, non-judgmental conversational glory hole understand how best to meet your needs, from G-rated quests to X-rated…
Contact Gareth at gareth@glorygloryhole.com if you have any questions.
In each GLOWBE we will have a section for ride swaps, equipment swaps, theme camp connections, and personals.
We'll be posting OFFERs and NEEDs in each week's GLOWBE. By having this all in one place, it will be easy to scan and find the perfect match.
Candidates. Sign up to be on the ballot here. It’s election season.
