The Tippecanoe County Historical Association is proud to announce the dates of the 59th annual Feast of the Hunters’ Moon festival, to happen in Fall of 2026. The festival will take place October 24th and 26th, 2026 at Fort Ouiatenon Historic Park in West Lafayette, Indiana.
The Feast of the Hunters’ Moon is a recreation of the annual fall gathering of the French and Native Americans which took place at Fort Ouiatenon, a fur-trading outpost in the 1700s. It is held annually in early autumn on the banks of the Wabash River, four miles southwest of West Lafayette, Indiana. Thousands of participants re-enact this event creating a feast for your senses. The Feast is the main fundraising event for the Tippecanoe County Historical Association and supports all aspects of the operation including curation of the unique and valuable artifacts in the TCHA collection, the broad expanse of community programming to educate about our diverse local history, and preservation efforts to maintain important historical sites such as the Tippecanoe Battlefield Museum, the Fort Ouiatenon Blockhouse, the Arganbright Genealogy Center and Library, the History Center, and the Ouiatenon Preserve. The Feast also helps raise funds for more than 50 other area not-for-profits. The event brings in over 3 million dollars to the local tourism economy.
Ticket information, a listing of all activities, food vendors, and entertainment will be posted in advance of the event at FeastoftheHuntersMoon.org. The Feast is held at the Fort Ouiatenon County Park at 3129 South River Road, West Lafayette, IN, 47906.
