The Great Smoky Mountains National Park just announced the dates for its annual synchronous fireflies event, during which swarms of lightning bugs will light up the park at night. The once-a-year phenomenon is so popular that a lottery system has been established for obtaining the coveted parking passes required to attend.
This year, the event will take place from May 30 to June 6, and the lottery for the parking passes opens on April 26, 2019, at 8 a.m. EST and will close on April 29, 2019, at 8 p.m. EST. You can enter the lottery at Recreation.gov.
