Looking for something fun to do with your family on a rainy, or perhaps even sunny Saturday in November? Then come on out to Mount Pisgah Arboretum for our community's 2nd annual Play in the Rain Day on Saturday, November 7th, from 10 am to 3 pm!

Sponsored by the Youth in Nature Partnership, a collaborative of local organizations that work closely with youth in the outdoors, Play in the Rain Day is a free family event for all ages. The day's activities will include nature crafts, hikes, hay rides with horses, scavenger hunts, seed planting, campfire cookery, and more! All activities and parking are FREE!

Discover how fun, easy, and rewarding it is to spend time outdoors in nature—in ALL kinds of weather. Don’t miss this fun event—last year, it was attended by over 1,000 people.
