The Botanical Garden of the Ozarks Lights Up for Firefly Fling
The Garden has something planned for the last weekend of June, and it is the kind of evening that is worth clearing your schedule for. This is one of those events where the energy starts the moment you walk in and does not let up until the very end. Bring the kids, bring your people, and come dressed for the occasion.

Dress the Part
Fairies, pirates, superheroes, your favorite magical creature: costumes are encouraged for every age. Showing up in character is the whole vibe, so go all in.
A Full Evening at BGO
You can wander through garden paths, visit educational booths hosted by community partners, get the kids’ faces painted, and find photo spots tucked throughout the grounds. As the sun goes down, Natural Event Solutions closes things out with a laser light show.
Who Is Taking the Stage
The entertainment lineup at Firefly Fling is where this event really earns its name. Inspyral Circus brings stilt walkers into the crowd, while Fatima leads a dance hula hoop party and Dance Like Fire features fire dancing by Arjo. Papa Rap hosts a drum circle, JukeBoxx from Smoothman Music Productions keeps the music going, and NWA Princess Parties sends mermaids, fairies, and pirates through the grounds all evening.
Fuel Up Before the Laser Show
Food trucks will be set up on-site throughout the evening. The confirmed lineup includes Kona Ice, Sweet Spins, Hugs Ice Cream, Atomic Dogs, Flavorful Kettle Corn, and Taqueria El Jefe, with more vendors still to be announced. Everything is available for purchase.
Get Your Tickets
Prices increase day-of the event, so buying ahead saves you money. Member pricing applies for both adults and children, so check your membership status before you check out.
