SUMMARY:Glow Wild: All-Ages Dance Party & Firefly Walk
DESCRIPTION:Glow Wild is an all-ages dance party designed to welcome the fireflies. Upbeat music fills the outdoor dance space as kids\, teens\, and adults move\, jump\, sway\, and celebrate together. As the music winds down and the sky darkens\, the fireflies begin their natural glow — right on cue. \nWhen the dance party ends\, guests are invited to follow the firefly path for a gentle walk through the walnut grove\, noticing the fireflies as they emerge and light up the evening. The rhythm of the night intentionally shifts from energetic to wonder-filled\, allowing space to slow down and take it all in. \nGather for an evening of music\, roasting marshmallows (weather permitting) and summer vibes. Enjoy live music under the stars\, relax by the warm glow of the campfire\, and then embark on a peaceful firefly walk to witness their natural light show. This is the perfect event for families\, couples\, and anyone who wants to soak in the beauty of a summer night on the farm. \nYour $15 ticket includes: \n\n\nEntry to the Glow Wild All-Ages Dance Party (7:30–9:30pm) \n\n\nA guided or self-paced firefly walk following the dance party \n\n\nCampfire with marshmallows (weather permitting) \n\n\nOptional glow-themed activities will be available as paid add-ons for those who wish to deepen their experience. \nGood to know: This is an all-ages event and children must be accompanied by an adult \nDate & Time: Sat. June 27th 7:30-10pm\, music from 7:30-9:30pm
