Our Mission

Firefly Nights is nonprofit organization dedicated to planning and executing two strategic events in the heart of Bowling Green, Ohio. The mission of Firefly Nights is to foster the diverse, neighborly, and lively atmosphere of Downtown Bowling Green while giving the community an opportunity to gather for fun, food and entertainment in BG’s historic downtown! In 2023 we reimagined the festival and are adding a Festival on The Green in October.

The festivals will be held the third Friday of June, and July within the North and South blocks of Main Street. The Festival on The Green will take place on Wooster Green the third Friday in October.

“The entire event is wonderful! It provides the perfect opportunity for people to gather downtown and not only support the downtown merchants and local vendors but also visit with friends and neighbors, listen to great music and have some fun family time.”
— Deb Baerwaldt, Community Member and Bowling Green Business Owner
