From 7:30-9:30pm, the farm comes alive with music, movement, and anticipation as we dance our way toward dusk.
Glow Wild is an all-ages dance party designed to welcome the fireflies. Upbeat music fills the outdoor dance space as kids, teens, and adults move, jump, sway, and celebrate together. As the music winds down and the sky darkens, the fireflies begin their natural glow ? right on cue.
When the dance party ends, guests are invited to follow the firefly path for a gentle walk through the walnut grove, noticing the fireflies as they emerge and light up the evening. The rhythm of the night intentionally shifts from energetic to wonder-filled, allowing space to slow down and take it all in.
Gather for an evening of music, roasting marshmallows (weather permitting) and summer vibes. Enjoy live music under the stars, relax by the warm glow of the campfire, and then embark on a peaceful firefly walk to witness their natural light show. This is the perfect event for families, couples, and anyone who wants to soak in the beauty of a summer night on the farm.

Entry to the Glow Wild All-Ages Dance Party (7:30-9:30pm)
