Autumn Equinox Sunrise Observance

September 20, 2026 @ 6:30 am

Every year we hold an Equinox/Solstice Sunrise Observance on the Sunday closest to the actual event. This year the Autumn Equinox Sunrise Observance will take place on Sunday, September 20, 2026!

Meet at the center pole of the Woodhenge reconstruction by 6:30 AM. There will be a 30-minute archaeologist-lead discussion focusing on the discovery, construction, and significance of this Pre-Columbian structure.

Admission and parking are free, with no RSVP needed. Please be aware that the center pole of the Woodhenge reconstruction is on uneven/unpaved grassy terrain and may not be fully accessible to some.

* Out of respect for Native American Cultures, no ceremonies will be conducted during this event. For more information please call (618) 346-5160
