Park After Dark
Mark your calendars: Park After Dark returns Saturday, September 19, 2026!
Half the park is after dark! Mississippi National River and Recreation Area and Mississippi Park Connection invite you to explore Crosby Farm Regional Park at night. The NPS and partners are hosting activities that engage the natural world through science and culture. Tap into your nocturnal side to discover the magic in a floodplain forest and along the Mississippi River.
Past events have included ranger-led walks, Junior Ranger activities, moon journaling from a Dakota knowledge keeper, bat monitoring, insect finding, night sky viewing, a beach bonfire with s'mores, and more! More details about drop-in and scheduled activities are coming soon including a nighttime river cruise. Register for the cruise at go.nps.gov/miss_events!
A rain date is scheduled for Saturday, September 26, 2026, running from 6:30 pm until 11 pm. Registered attendees will receive email notifications for event updates including cancellations.
