2024 Firefly Festival

The PA Firefly Festival in Forest County is officially sold out. More than 2,500 entered the lottery for tickets to the annual celebration and education experience and 150 were selected.  Read more here.

The 15-acre Kellettville Firefly Farm near Tionesta, home of the Festival, is dedicated to the preservation of firefly habitat and surrounded by private and public forest.

The PAFF has been monitoring and keeping data on firefly activity in this area for eleven years.

The Farm offers year-round lodging options and firefly experiences at other times, not just during the Festival.
