Congaree National Park

Congaree National Park in Hopkins, South Carolina, is renowned for its unique phenomenon of synchronous fireflies, which can be observed for approximately two weeks each year from mid-May to mid-June. This captivating display attracts visitors eager to witness the enchanting sight of fireflies flashing in unison as they search for mates.

During the firefly viewing event, the park operates under a modified schedule, requiring visitors to exit by 4:30 PM, with entry after that time permitted only with a valid event pass. To protect the delicate firefly habitat, certain areas of the park are closed during this period, and visitors are encouraged to follow specific guidelines to ensure a respectful and enjoyable experience.
