Firefly Fling Returns to Botanical Garden of the Ozarks

The most magical event of the summer returns to the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks on Saturday, July 21. The garden will transform into an exciting land of imagination from 6:00 - 10:00 p.m.

This year's Firefly Fling Festival includes fairy house building, nature stations, giant bubbles, a hula hoop dance party, fire dancing and live music by the Firefly Fling Band and The 1 oz. Jig. Local community partners will also have a wide variety of activities for families. Garden fairies and other fun characters will be granting wishes to children throughout the garden.

After dark, families may gather on the lawn for glow-in-the-dark performances, followed by fire dancing a special Community Wishes Finale. Guests may bring blankets and picnics, but food trucks will be selling food as well. The Firefly Shoppe will have fairy wings, wands, glow sticks, and other festival items for sale!

The BGO does not permit any glass, alcohol, smoking or firearms inside the garden and kindly asks guests to leave pets at home. This event will be held rain or shine. Tickets are non-refundable.
