Does anyone know when the Black Forest Star Party will take place in 2025? Based on the new moon calendar I’m assuming around Sept 21 but was wondering if it could be held during the August new moon on Aug 22? Is BFSP ever held in August? The date has not been posted on the BFSP webpage and we are trying to make plans for 2025. Thanks!

My guess is it will be the 19-21 weekend of September 2025.  In fact it is always best in September.  They'll probably not post the confirmed date until early spring. Being a State Park, they have to schedule around the State's schedule of events, especially the Woodsman's Festival which can be late August or early September.
