About

Join us during Dark Sky Week for a free, educational event where you can stargaze, view the night sky through telescopes, learn about the solar system, hear from the Travis Audubon about why turning out lights at night helps our migrating birds, be a citizen scientist and measure the night sky quality for light pollution research while learning constellations and learn about the impacts of light pollution from Dark Sky Texas.

Hosted by Travis County Parks Foundation, Travis County Parks, Travis Audubon Society and Dark Sky Texas

This is a free, family-friendly event! Bring a camp chair, blanket and water bottle and come prepared to be inspired by the night sky while learning about the benefits of protecting the night sky from light pollution.

To enjoy a natural night sky, a red light flashlight is recommended. If you don’t have a red light flashlight, we will provide one to borrow during the event.

Did you know? Bee Creek Sports Complex uses all night sky friendly sports lighting! Come check it out!

If storms are in the forecast the day of the event, we will notify you by email at least two hours prior to the start time to let you know if the event will be rescheduled.

Don't miss out on this stellar opportunity to learn and be amazed under the night sky!
