We have our tax exempt status and it is retroactive for 2014. Your donations are now tax deductible, and we are able to use the funds to continue to expand our mission of public education programs about the fireflies in the Allegheny National Forest. We are in the process of registering an online crowd funding site for you to make donations to our educational programs. We will keep you posted on that as soon as we are up and running.
We are continuing plans for this year's festival. The musicians are committed and we have another full day of music including: Broke, Stranded & Ugly, Detention, Dominick DeCecco, The Hills & Rivers, Stoney & Co, Uriah Effect, Matt Miskie and Rob & Gene.
We are still accepting applications for artists, crafters and food vendors. Contact us at pafireflyfestival@gmail.com if you are interested, as soon as possible.
If you want to help out as a firefly watcher/monitor, let us know and we will get you the information to register as a citizen scientist. We can always use volunteers at the festival as well.
This blog will keep you informed about the plans for the annual PA Firefly Festival and the Firefly Seasonal Events. The PAFF festival and sponsored events celebrate and monitor the annual mating displays of over fifteen different species of fireflies in the Allegheny National Forest area including the Synchronous Firefly and the "Chinese Lantern" species.
When is the PA Firefly Festival?
Friday, June 28 and Saturday, June 29 from 7 pm to Midnight. Subscribe to the PAFF Newsletter at Pafireflyevents.org to get early notification of the online registration links.
