Take a weekend off from Netflix and grab a chance to live a fairytale this May. Give a break to music festivals because Purushwadi is officially giving us the opportunity to witness the Fireflies Festival in May.
What Is It?
Purushwadi is a home to millions of fireflies and these magical creatures are all set to light up our summer nights during their mating season. Locals of Purushwadi village organize this festival every year in which one can enjoy different activities like bonfire, traditional food and many other local village experiences.
Also, you get to experience the display of fireflies in the dark night sky. An organisation called GrassRoutes takes care of the village’s tourism and this festival is part of their initiative.
