FireFish Festival 2026 ignites Lorain with Freedom Lifts Us—a community-powered night of art, light, and imagination inspired by Lorain native Toni Morrison and the celebration of 250 years of the United States.

​This year, the festival expands beyond performance into participation—inviting everyone to create, connect, and help shape the FireFish Parade and finale. Expect immersive art, hands-on experiences, and a celebration built by the community itself.
