Full Moon Fort 2024 Canceled

On October 14, Sharie Shada, Site Superintendent at Fort Phil Kearny, announced that this year’s Full Moon Fort event, scheduled for Friday and Saturday, October 18 and 19, has been canceled because of the nearby forest fire and smoke.

“We are disappointed to cancel this popular event, but fort staff and those in the surrounding area are concerned about the Elk Fire burning close by in the Bighorn Mountains. Our neighbors in Story and at the fort’s Wagon Box Fight Site are currently in evacuation advisory areas. Safety is our first priority,” Shada explained. She added that anyone who has purchased tickets to the event will be receiving a phone call and a full refund.

Please look for this event again in October 2025!

Fort Phil Kearny State Historic Site is located at 528 Wagon Box Road, in Banner, Wyoming, and is a division of Wyoming State Parks and Cultural Resources.
