Experience the magic of the night sky at Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park’s Star Party! Join us at Cavalry Square from 9-11:30 p.m. for an unforgettable stargazing adventure. Arrive early to claim a great observation spot—sunset is at 8:39 PM, so you can watch the sky transform before darkness fully sets in.
All ages welcome! Our team and members of the Bismarck Astronomy Club will guide you through using telescopes, spotting constellations, identifying planets, and even exploring the craters of the moon. Telescopes and binoculars will be available, but feel free to bring your own!
Helpful tip: If you have a red-light flashlight, bring it along—it helps preserve night vision for better stargazing. Regular flashlights are welcome but should be kept on low beam.
Come explore the wonders of the cosmos with us!
Bathrooms will be available for use in the Commissary building adjacent to Cavalry Square.
