FossilDAWG Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I have been looking online to find the actual dates for the 2020 Aurora Fossil Festival. So far Google has only brought up tripadvisor type links that say the date is undetermined. I can't find it on the Aurora Museum web page either. Also as search of the Fossil Forum hasn't yielded specific dates. I would like to attend this year if I can, but I will be out of the country for the latter half of May and early June. Does anyone know the actual dates for this event? Thanks, Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Dente Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 It is always Memorial Day weekend. Most events are Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeR Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 With the disbandment and non-participation of the Special Friends of the Aurora Fossil Museum it is going to be interesting to see how the Fossil Fair will be organized and run this year.

Most events are Saturday. Interesting. Those are not at all the same, Memorial Day weekend is May 23-25th, and Troodon's link says the festival is May 9 and 10. It would seem the festival is having a bit of an advertising issue. I don't know how people who haven't been there before (or have only been once, like me) are supposed to just know it's always on Memorial Day weekend. Anyway I wish I could go, it was a lot of fun, but I'll be teaching a class in the Galapagos Islands that weekend. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilDAWG Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share Posted April 14, 2020 Just checking in again. I assume this year's festival will be yet another casualty of the COVID-19 pandemic? Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
