Enjoy a night celebrating nature after dark!
The 4th annual Fall Fright Fest offers a chance to learn about and explore the nature preserve at night!
Activity tables will be open until sunset and will be hosted by Conservation and Environmental Lands Management, Little Manatee River State Park, Honeymoon Island State Park, Hillsborough County EPC, and more!
This event also features two guided hikes:
6:30 PM Nocturnal Animals Hike - This not scary hike is perfect for little ones who want to learn about all our forest friends who come out at night, with hopes to hear some owl calls or see some eyes reflecting in the dark.
7:00 PM Haunted Hike - This hike might be a little scary as you walk through the preserve after dark and hear haunted tales of Camp Bayou!
All guided hikes end with s'mores around the campfire!
