White Sands National Park will host its September Full Moon Night event on Sunday September 7, 2025, at 7:00 pm.In partnership with Western National Park, we are pleased to have Randy Granger from Las Cruces, New Mexico perform at the park's September Full Moon Night event. 

Randy is a professional musician, storyteller, educator, composer, and recording artist. A multiple award-winning musician, he tours the U.S. as a solo artist headlining many festivals, leading workshops, and teaching at Native American flute schools throughout the United States.

Join Randy for a relaxing fall evening on Sunday, September 7, at 7:00 p.m. in the park’s natural outdoor amphitheater. Randy will fill the moonlit night with his unique blend of instruments, interpretation of traditional melodies, and heartfelt music. 

The program is free, but park entrance fees will apply. To get to the amphitheater, drive approximately six miles beyond the fee station to an intersection just after the Backcountry Camping Trail parking lot. 

Take a right at that intersection and then the second left. Drive approximately one mile further and the amphitheater will be on the right side. The parking lot will open at 6:00 pm. Seating is not provided at the amphitheater. You are encouraged to set up on the surrounding dunes and bring camp chairs, blankets, and coolers with food and drinks. 

Please help keep White Sands beautiful by packing out all your trash. The park’s hours will be extended to 10:00 pm for this event
