Apex’s Explore S’more has a new date to put on the family calendar. The Town’s event page now lists Thursday, October 22, 2026, after muddy conditions prompted a postponement from September 24. The gathering is scheduled from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Apex Nature Park Amphitheater, 2600 Evans Road.

The free community event combines nature education, interactive games and roasting s’mores. Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources staff host the evening as a way for children and adults to spend time outdoors and connect with neighbors.

Because the event remains weather-dependent, check the dedicated page again before leaving. Parking is listed at Apex Nature Park. Choose footwear for outdoor conditions and make a simple meeting plan if attending with another household, rather than relying on finding each other once activities begin.

Give the outing one shared question: what did you notice outside tonight that you had not noticed before? It could be a sound, a leaf or something learned at an activity. Families with food restrictions can decide in advance how to handle the s’mores portion and ask organizers about specific needs. The nature activities provide a focus even for someone who chooses to skip the treat.
