Who Is Invited

Registration & Fees

Registration is required for EACH participant.  Adults accompanying their children need NOT register.  All Natural Area entry fees apply; please stop at the self-pay area to the right of the Fee Booth to self-pay. Correct change is required: $6 per person ages 13 and over; 12 and under are free.  If you have a Texas State Park Pass, please enter the number on the appropriate line of the self-pay envelope.  Credit cards are NOT accepted when self-paying. 

When & Where to Meet

Meet and sign in next to the Visitor's Center.  The event begins at 6:00 PM, but you may come whenever you like and stay as little or as long as you wish. The fair will close at 8:30 PM.    Plan ahead, as the Natural Area often experiences heavy visitation and wait time at the fee booth.   

What to Wear & Bring

Dress appropriately for the weather; costumes are encouraged but not required.   

Requirements

No pets please.  Minors must be accompanied by a legal guardian for the duration of the event.  To reduce human impact on the Natural Area, please follow the Leave No Trace principles of outdoor ethics.
