Perseids Meteor Shower Viewing

This annual meteor shower is among the best viewing opportunities to see meteors shooting across the sky. Bring chairs or a blanket and set up at Forest Glen Preserve's Meadowlark Shelter to watch a stunning night sky!

Flashlights are encouraged, and staff will have red covers available to prevent impacting your night vision.

There will not be a reschedule in case of rain or cloud cover. Any cancellations will be posted by 12 noon on August 12. For more information, contact Brenna Karcher at 217-662-2142 or YmthcmNoZXIgfCB2Y2NkICEgb3Jn.
