Starry Skies of Balmorhea State Park

Balmorhea State Park has scheduled an evening under the beautiful Texas stars in the world’s largest spring-fed swimming pool from 9:00 to 11:00 p.m. Saturday, June 17.

This is one of many 100-year celebration events happening in Texas state parks this year. Entry to a park is free on the day it hosts an official 100-year celebration event (applies to day passes only). Guarantee entry by reserving your free day pass up to one month before this special event.
