It’s BACK! Fireflies at Blue Springs State Park

When I checked my messages this morning, I had a message asking if Blue Springs State Park was having a firefly festival this year. With a heavy heart, I replied that I was hopeful we would have to wait no later than 2022.

Just a few hours later, I saw THIS on Facebook! Listen, it is worth a two hour drive and back (it’s less than an hour for us, but I would be willing to drive a total of four hours for this experience). If you’re with a group, I’d suggest taking a pizza or a bucket of chicken or a big salad or whatever trips your trigger for a quick al fresco dinner, and then enjoy the show. There are fewer and fewer places each year that can offer the right conditions for such a large emergence of fireflies — go see this while you still can!

    1. You will have to check with Friends of Blue Springs. I don’t schedule this event; I just go and enjoy it every spring. 🙂 I hope you will be able to see it! It varies year by year because fireflies don’t keep calendars . . . at least, no calendar that humans can interpret.
