Sparks: 2026 PA FIREFLY FESTIVAL
The 14th Annual PA Firefly Festival Events have concluded another fantastic season. The 2- days of exhibits and entertainment at the Market Village were well attended by steady streams of visitors and shoppers. The weather was perfect and the fireflies were abundant.
​
The sold out evening guided tours learned about "The Dark Side of Fireflies" and how to Leave No Trace when viewing fireflies, before venturing into the dark to view the firefly shows at the Tionesta Lake Spillway.
​
