The Firefly Teen Festival

Being a teen right now isn't easy. Constant transitions, real pressure, and a digital world that can leave you feeling more isolated than ever. That's why you deserve a night to be celebrated like the VIP you are.

The Firefly Teen Festival is a FREE, intergenerational event created to celebrate teens. It's family-friendly and open to everyone, but teens (11-19yrs) are the guests of honor. Brought to you by Firefly World in partnership with Rainbow Edu and Inner Team Building, and funded by the Odyssey Impact Grant.

What's happening:

🎤 Real Talk Panel — Teens and special guests get honest about the stuff nobody else says out loud. We have a college admissions expert, an art therapist, a chiropractor who will chat about how physical health impacts mental and emotional health, as well as a social media expert and former influencer who will chat about how the algorithm is designed and how that affects our mental health and humanity.

🎶 Live Firefly Concert — An intimate, emotionally honest performance by Farah "Firefly" Mitha (@fireflynow), whose relatable lyrics and stories have helped thousands of teens feel less alone.

🌟 Teen Showcase — Local teens take the stage to perform for the community and share how they cope with stress and overwhelm

📸 Selfie Station + Teen Exclusive Gift Bags (with over $500 worth of stuff) + Teen Exclusive Raffle
