What we checked
This one predates the check-date stamp, so we cannot tell you the day. Everything below is what its sources say.
The current official 2026 calendar lists the upcoming display but does not publish a 2026 admission price on the event page. An older dedicated page still online is for 2025 and is not used to set 2026 pricing.
Not confirmed: The price. The venue publishes none, so neither do we.
Not confirmed: A military rate. We searched and the venue publishes none. That is not the same as there being none, so it is worth asking.
⚠️ Sources disagree on event year/date on official Bellingrath pages: September 26-November 1, 2026 against September 20-November 1, 2025 page says event has passed Use the current 2026 official calendar for the upcoming event. The stale 2025 page is preserved as zombie-page counter-evidence and is not used for 2026 price/date facts.
The display runs from September 26 through November 1, 2026.
