LIGHTNING BUG 2025 at Rare Bird Farm

A tiny festival with a giant heart and lightning bugs.

Friday night featured Sally Anne Morgan Band & Little Mazarn

Over 200 of you joined us for two luminous days of music, art, and connection at Rare Bird Farm — and we couldn’t be more grateful. Lightning Bug was a sold-out success, thanks to the generous, joyful energy each of you brought to the land.

Made possible by @madison_county_nc and @ncartscouncil

Madison County Tourism Development Authority support helps make rural and intimate gatherings like this possible. The North Carolina Arts Council’s Hurricane Helene Relief Grants gave essential resources to help restart arts programs in Western NC following the storm.

Proceeds benefited Rare Bird’s Inclusive Theatre Camps— where expressive arts matter.

We’re still glowing with gratitude. Thank you for lighting up the mountains with us. Until next year.
