BAT NIGHT at this Panhandle Pioneer Settlement.
This year BAT NIGHT will be on May 15th, 2026.
Here is a short video from 2025 that shows the bats beginning to drop from the Bat House at the Settlement. They start our sporadically and then more and more will begin to drop.
You can see the the bats drop faster in person at the Settlement on Bat Night.
Some say that after the 1st sporadic groups drop, more and more drop speeding up and then it is like turning on a faucet.
