Event details
Enjoy a perfect evening on the waters of Monee Reservoir while the peak of the Perseids meteor shower dazzles overhead. Watch the sunset and listen to the natural sounds as they wane from day into night. Get lucky and even catch some shooting stars. Once off the water, bring your drink of choice (beer and wine only, please) and enjoy it around a campfire with s’mores.
All equipment is provided. Personal kayaks are welcomed.
