We invite some of our friends and make a whole weekend out of it.” Firefly artists make the awards rounds The fan energy is high and positive, and the trees, whether during the day or lit up at night, are unique to the festival experience.” “Red Frog picked a really good location in The Woodlands. It’s much easier to get the energy when we are looking out over that Firefly crowd, as opposed to performing at smaller events,” Evans said.

It welcomed a wide range of DJs, and gave a new dance floor to Firefly fans looking to express themselves. Last year marked a shift, with the addition of the Pavilion Stage.
