ALAMOGORDO, N.M. – White Sands National Park will host its September Full Moon Night event Saturday, Sept. 26, 2026, at 6:30 p.m.
For the park’s September Full Moon Night, White Sands National Park, in partnership with Western National Parks, presents a musical performance by Randy Granger. An award-winning musician and storyteller of Mayan and Apache heritage, Granger will perform with the Native American flute and other acoustic instruments.
Join Granger for a relaxing fall evening, Saturday, Sept. 26, in the park’s natural outdoor amphitheater. The event parking lot will open at 5 p.m. The concert will start at 6:30 p.m. and last approximately an hour and a half. Granger will fill the moonlit night with his unique blend of instruments, interpretation of traditional melodies and heartfelt music. The park will have extended hours until 9 p.m. that evening.
The program is free, but park entrance fees will apply. The park expects many attendees for this Full Moon Night event, so please plan accordingly:
