Annual Firefly Gathering
NC
Each summer hundreds of people come together in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina for the Annual Firefly Gathering, one of the largest earthskills gatherings in the country. Skilled instructors, artists, musicians, speakers and thinkers co-create this transformative experience to expand our capacity to live well with one another and our beloved Earth.
There are over 300 hundred diverse classes to choose from and days at the Gathering are spent enjoying nature through plant walks and herbal medicine making, connecting with community as you run into new and old friends off the beautiful Toe River, deepening your relationship with the wisdom and rhythms of nature, and exploring the creative expression within ourselves and others through the craft fair, drum circles, band performances and the annual parade. People of all ages and walks of life are welcome at Firefly, with engaging youth programs and intentional camp options to support the experience of people who identify asPeople of the Global Majority, LGBTQIA+ Communities, Women, Men, and sobriety seekers.
Evenings at the Firefly Gathering are filled with creative expression, as we reconnect and let the learning from the day sink in. Connect with new friends and old while enjoying live music, poetry, stories, and dancing under the stars. For many, attending The Firefly Gathering is a life-changing experience, inspiring them to return year after year.
