Firefly begins when you arrive at the Gate. '''<u>All fireflies MUST present their ID to be admitted to the event.</u>''' If you are arriving with a group in a car and '''one of the car's passengers either does not have their ID or is not on the Ticket List, the whole car will be turned away.''' At the Gate all fireflies will be given a wristband that must be worn on the wrist throughout the event. A different color wristband is given to participants under the age of 21. Arriving during daylight hours is highly recommended as load-in and camp setup in the dark will be challenging.
Firefly is hosted in a town with a population between 500 and 600, so an influx of 1,500 Fireflies quadruples the number of people in the area. When arriving by car, pull into the gate queue immediately. Do not block public road access. We strive to be unobtrusive to the town and neighbors, respecting our presence as guests.
You can opt for a red '''NO PHOTOGRAPHY''' wristband at the Gate if you do not want your photo taken during the event.
After check-in you will be instructed to head to the Greeter Station. All fireflies should stop by this station for an introduction and important information for the current year's event. The Greeters will give you word to proceed to park and unload your gear.
There is a small parking area known as "Upper" that fills up almost immediately after open. The rest of attendees should plan to park in "Lower". Both parking locations are fields in Vermont's hills, so AWD vehicles are recommended. Everyone will first head to Upper where there is a designated unloading area. Unload the entire contents of your car here, then park in Lower if Upper is full. Keep in mind that you may have someone parked behind you, and your car may not be able to leave until exodus.
'''Be prepared to haul your gear up the hill to your campsite by hand.''' Dollies or carts with wide tires, like the one's designed for beach trips, are strongly recommended.
There is '''<u>no re-entry</u>''' for Firefly. Plan to stay at the event from arrival until exodus (or GTFO) on the last day of the event. Have enough food, water, and supplies for the duration of that time. If you forgot something, ask a fellow firefly for help.
In the event of an emergency, exceptions can be made to the no re-entry policy, but they require approval before leaving. In this event, find a '''Gate Lead''' or email '''gate@fireflyartscollective.org'''.
