The mission of Pennsylvania Firefly Festival, Inc. is to deliver STEAM ( Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) based firefly themed educational programs that unite diverse races and cultures by focusing upon the
universal interest in fireflies. This mission will be accomplished by educational. presentations to Pennsylvania K-12 schools, state parks, special interest groups and community firefly themed events.

Our goals are as follows:

 Foster an understanding of natural world functions and the math behind firefly synchronicity.
Stimulate critical thinking about the key role of water quality, soil condition, and dark sky for habitat conservation/environmental protection.
Provide actionable solutions to protect firefly as well as all invertebrate habitats at home and throughout the community.

We celebrate the firefly season with the Annual PA Firefly Festival on the last weekend in June. This typically coincides with the mating displays of over fifteen different species of firefly in the Allegheny National Forest area including the Synchronous Firefly and the unique "Chinese Lantern" firefly along the Tionesta Creek. We also provide interpretive firefly programs at our Glow & Know Campouts for small groups interested in a more intensive and immersive firefly experience. PAFF is dedicated to responsible and sustainable firefly tourism in Pennsylvania and beyond.
