Fruit and Spice Park holds Stargazing Night on Saturday, September 26, from 7:30 to 10:30 at night at 24801 Southwest 187th Avenue in Homestead. The harvest moon rises over the orchards while a bonfire keeps the clearing warm, and guests settle in with telescopes, blankets and lawn chairs around the fire. It is the calmest way to see the Redland sky, and the park is one of the darkest corners of the county.

Tickets, times, and what to bring

Tickets run ten dollars for adults and five for children, with park members free. S'mores kits, food carts and drinks are sold on site, and the bonfire stays lit through the event. Bring your own telescope if you have one, plus chairs and blankets; the park closes to traffic for the evening and turns the orchard into an open-air observatory for a couple of hours.

A weekend made for families planning their next move

For families who live here or who are looking at Homestead and the Redland, a night like this answers the practical question with a feeling: the country pace is not a slogan, it is a calendar of moon phases and quiet evenings. It is also a gentle way to measure space, distance, and the kind of property that makes the sky part of the house.
