11-7 to 11-8-2026 – Fort de Chartres Winter Rendezvous – Prairie du Rocher, IL

Saturday & Sunday, November 7th & 8th, 2026 
Fort de Chartres Winter Rendezvous & Woodswalk
Saturday, November 7th, 10 AM-5 PM
Sunday, November 8th, 10 AM-3 PM
 This event features 18th and early 19th century camp life and re-enactors who participate in a muzzleloader woods walk shooting competition. Fort de Chartres State Historic Site presents a weekend of colorful clothing, hand-made crafts, period music and delicious food when the annual Winter Rendezvous returns November 2nd & 3rd. The rendezvous is fun both for the participants demonstrating frontier life from 1700 to1820 and for visitors spending an autumn day wandering among the tents, campfires, and historic French colonial fort. Soldiers, trappers, traders, and Native Peoples (as portrayed by historic re-enactors) will gather at the rendezvous.

This event is hosted by Les Coureurs des Bois de Fort de Chartres and sponsored
by Les Amis du Fort de Chartres, with additional support from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. Poster-Lopata Design. This event is receiving support this year from a Discover Downstate Illinois 2024 DCEO Tourism Grant. We thank everyone who is contributing to or supporting this annual Fort de Chartres special event!
