SUMMARY:Firefly Live Music and Campfire
DESCRIPTION:As evening settles in and the light softens\, the farm becomes a place to gather\, listen\, and chill. \nFirefly Night: Live Music on the Farm is an all-ages summer evening designed around live music\, nature\, and togetherness. As musicians play\, guests are invited to spread out across the space — listening from the grass\, chatting quietly\, or enjoying the atmosphere as the sky darkens and the fireflies begin their gentle glow. \nThe music sets the tone for the evening\, carrying us toward dusk. As the final notes fade\, guests are welcome to wander the firefly path\, taking a slow walk through the farm to watch the fireflies emerge and light up the night. \nThe rhythm of the evening is intentionally unhurried — a balance of sound\, stillness\, and summer wonder. \nYour $15 ticket includes: \n\n\nEntry to the live music performance \n\n\nAccess to the firefly walk following the music \n\n\nCampfire and marshmallows (weather permitting) \n\n\nOptional summer activities and refreshments may be available as add-ons for those who wish to extend their experience. Our farm stand will be open for business – please consider making purchases to support our farm! \nGood to know: \n\n\nThis is an all-ages event \n\n\nChildren must be accompanied by an adult \n\n\nSeating is informal including deck chairs and picnic blankets \n\nPlease remember to tip the band!\n\nDate & Time: Friday\, July 3rd and Sat. July 4th\, 7:30-10pm\, music from 8-9:30pm
