FIREFLY : Landscaping

As we draw near to the start of the Firefly Music Festival, it’s time to start landscaping some of the venues. Plants were delivered today and our master landscaper (and President) is ready to get her hands dirty. Unfortunately, the ground is so soft that that’s not the only thing that’s getting muddy.

FIREFLY : More Rain Won’t Keep Us Down

Sure, it might be raining in Dover, but the show must go on. Sure The Pathway is flooded… good thing the umbrellas did their job, huh?! Everyone’s a little wet, the ground is extra muddy, and yet everyone is powering through. Devising different methods to get things done… like unloading trucks & LED television monitors • Read More »


FIREFLY : Entrance

In between rain & storms, the entrance arch was finally completed today. Can’t wait for our Lighting Team to get in there to add some creative lighting & magical Firefly effects.

What’s better than rusted metal & hundreds of • Read More »


FIREFLY : Another Crazy Storm

After a day or two of nice weather, we started the morning with our “Wolf Pack” who has taken to showing their true colors with a pack chant – complete with hand gestures! Here’s the full “pack” awaiting their morning instructions… left to right… Zehyne, Colleen, Eric, Andrew (hiding), Kris, Jess, Kayla, Gabby, Paul (in • Read More »


FIREFLY : Clear Skies Ahead

Well, it’s been a few soggy days… delaying parts of the set-up for the Firefly Music Festival. Pouring rain & squishy ground aren’t too conducive to building tents & venues?! Luckily, the sun has come out today and everyone was in high spirits as things started coming together. Some of our Ivan Carlson Crew working • Read More »


FIREFLY : A Sign Of Things To Come

We’re very excited to be back in Dover for a second year with the Firefly Music Festival. This year’s festival is guaranteed to grow larger than last year’s inaugural festival… what with more bands, more guests and more of The Woodlands to spread out into. The folks at Red Frog Events in Chicago organize the • Read More »
