For the third year, Flight of the Fireflies will light up Dudley Park with lanterns and other large, illuminated artworks. The experience is meant to be a place where the creativity and resourcefulness of the Athens community shine through, with DIY lanterns and other light sources encouraged to create a participatory environment. Flight of the Fireflies also features live music and performers to add to the whimsy of the night. The parade will take approximately 30 minutes, beginning in the center of Dudley Park, crossing the Firefly Trestle Bridge, going down the access ramp, across Poplar Street, then re-entering Dudley Park. Visit accgov.com to see a map of the route, and call 706-548-1865 for information about accessible alternative routes.
