Black Hill Starry Night - Under The Stars

Join Montgomery Parks and the Montgomery Parks Foundation for a night hike, beer, and s’mores!

Attendees are given the option to experience a guided night hike through the woods to a secret destination known for its spectacular view of the stars. While on the hike, naturalist will instruct you to listen for frog calls, search for owls and other nocturnal animals, observe moths, learn how our senses change at night, and more!

Afterward, warm your chilly fingers while toasting marshmallows over a crackling fire and sipping a hot cocoa OR sip on a tasty brew from Waredaca Brewery while noshing on yummy hors d’oeuvres from Wegmans.

Ticket proceeds support the future SEED Classroom at Black Hill Regional Park.
