White Sands National Park will hold its first Full Moon Night event of the year on Wednesday June 11, 2025, at 8:15 pm.

In partnership with Western National Parks, we are pleased to welcome the 1st Armored Division Rock Band for a performance at the park's June Full Moon Night event. The 1st AD Rock Band is stationed out of Fort Bliss and serve the Army as ambassadors for on- and off-post events.

Join us for a relaxing evening on Wednesday, June 11, at 8:15 pm in the park’s natural outdoor amphitheater where you can enjoy the radiance of the dunes beneath a full moon while listening to music and tapping your toes in the sand. 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 7:15 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.
