UPDATE: It should now be working!

TICKET SALES DELAYED .....We are looking into it now ...all I can say is we're sorry!

05/25/2025

So VERY SORRY we haven't posted on here as we should ...we had a website coding bug that created a huge mess when ticket sales launched and it took a lot of our attention.

BUT happy to say ticket sales resume TODAY at 6pm EST! Better late than never I guess. We appreciate all those that have been patiently waiting!

Hope to see some of our FB followers soon! Thank you!

Hi all! We have received an OVERWHELMING number of messages and special requests. Unfortunately time does not permit accommodating all, but we will do our best to respond individually. We are working on getting an email blast to our subscribers out soon, and then will follow up with a post here. Thanks for your patience and please stay tuned!

We have done our best to accommodate those on our wait list. A fortunate few were able to snag some last minute spots, but I am sorry to say the 2024 season is coming to a close Tuesday June 18th. We will not be able to extend dates beyond that, and are not foreseeing many more cancellations at this time. I would rather let those waiting know now, rather than keeping you in hopeful suspense. For early notification for the 2025 season, please go to www.mollybranchfireflies.com and sign up for our newsletter on our homepage. We will likely announce dates in mid May next year. Thank you!

For those that already have tickets, we will be continuing through Tuesday June 18th. So see you soon!

Based on the forecast, we ARE opening tonight. The rain should be moving out by the time the fireflies come out. We suggest bringing a rain coat just in case. To avoid possible rain, we suggest arriving 8pm or later to hopefully stay dryer. Thank you!

NOTICE We have had people buy tickets for multiple nights and then pick the night they like and ask for refunds for the unused nights. In the past we have been generous with our refund policy, but this is inconsiderate to those that wanted those spaces but now having to wait for spaces to come available. This will not be acceptable in the future. Not trying to be mean, but want to be fair to others.

We have been shocked by the overwhelming response the past two days. First, thank you all for your support of our little firefly event! Secondly, at this point we only have the last two days that are NOT sold out! The activity should still be strong then, so don't let that discourage you. We are going to try and add another day or two, but hard to say just yet. But again, thank you for all the support!

Please DO NOT try to purchase tickets from someone else, YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO GET IN. If you have something come up, please private message us or email mollybranchfirefliesinfo.com Thank you

A BIG thanks to WATE for this awesome shout out! 😍

Synchronous fireflies are famous in the Smokies, but that is not the only place in Tennessee where the bugs can be found. People are invited to observe the rare phenomenon at Molly Branch Fireflies…
