Prepare to be enchanted as the trees along the boardwalk glow with the soft, shimmering light of fireflies. Beginning Friday, March 13, the forest at Blue Spring State Park transforms each evening as hundreds of fireflies rise from the forest floor and dance beneath the canopy. It’s one of Florida’s most breathtaking natural spectacles—and we’re thrilled to share it with you.
