THIS EVENT IS CANCELED.  The health and safety of the participants, presenters, and volunteers is our primary concern. This large event has been cancelled due to concerns about the potential spread of COVID-19.

Celebrate the 4th of July by experiencing the splendor of the night sky at Cherry Springs State Park. Observe Red, White & Blue objects in the sky through a laser-guided tour conducted by park staff. Listen as we talk about these objects & why they are the color they are.

Following the program, the park will have telescopes available for an up close look at celestial objects. Telescope availability is subject to time and crowd-size limitations.

Pre-registration is required to attend this Program and spaces are limited. Registration will open 2 weeks prior to each event!

While you may still observe on your own at the park without attending a program, all visitors should arrive before dark.

Programs are conducted at the Night Sky Public Viewing Area. Follow the walkway from the public program parking to the seating area.

The park asks that visitors to the Night Sky programs please leave their pets at home. Dim lighting, large crowds and sensitive equipment do not create a pet-friendly environment.

All programs will be cancelled in the event of rain or thunder.
