🌌 Looking for something to do this evening? 🌌

The Fort Belmont Star Party is happening tonight from 8:30–10:30 PM at Fort Belmont.

While the weather may have moved us indoors, we’ve still got a fun evening planned with:

✨ A presentation about the night sky
✨ Star maps and astronomy materials
✨ A telescope learning station
✨ A VR experience featuring space exploration and a virtual walkthrough of the International Space Station

We’ve got the museum set up and ready to go, and we’d love to have you stop out for a relaxed evening of astronomy and exploration.

🌌 Tomorrow Night at Fort Belmont

The Fort Belmont Star Party is almost here.

Join us tomorrow evening for a night of:
✨ Stargazing
✨ Telescopes
✨ Glowing pathways
✨ History after dark

We’ll continue keeping an eye on conditions, but either way, we’ll have something to experience tomorrow night. If weather doesn’t cooperate for outdoor viewing, we’ll move indoors for a guided program inside the museum.

🌙 It may get chilly after sunset, so feel free to bring a lawn chair, blanket, or light jacket for the evening.

We’re excited to welcome everyone out for a unique evening under the stars 🌌

🌌 4 days until the Fort Belmont Star Party

We’ve had a few questions about the weather, so here’s where things stand:

We’re keeping a close eye on conditions as we get closer. Since this is a stargazing-focused event, clear skies are an important part of the experience.

👉 If weather conditions aren’t suitable, the event will be postponed to make sure everyone gets the full experience.

That said, it’s still a bit early to know exactly how the sky will look. We’ll continue to monitor things and share updates as we get closer.

👉 We’ll be posting updates here throughout the week, so be sure to check back.

For now, we’re moving forward and getting everything ready ✨

Life in a Frontier Encampment

During Pioneer Days Rendezvous, the grounds at Fort Belmont fill with the sights and sounds of frontier life.

Canvas tents rise across the prairie, cooking fires crackle, and reenactors demonstrate the tools, trades, and traditions that shaped everyday life in the 1800s.

Visitors can wander through camp, ask questions, and experience history in a way that books and museums alone can’t capture.

Pioneer Days returns August 22–23, 2026.

More details will be shared in the coming months.
