Old fashioned campfire at Pelee Saturday

Cool autumn air has settled in and darkness fills the night - it is the perfect time to warm up around a good old fashioned campfire at Point Pelee National Park.

Join park staff at the DeLaurier Homestead for a toe tapping sing-a-long, tales from Pelee's past and stargazing in a Dark Sky Preserve. Don't forget your mug for some toasty hot chocolate.

The campfire is on Saturday, October 22 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the DeLaurier Homestead and Trail (10 minutes past park entrance gate) .

Cost of the program is included with park admission and pre-registration is required for groups.
