Skywatching: International Observe the Moon Night

September 14 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm

Join people from all over the globe to explore the moon on the same night. It’s going to be an incredible experience! And don’t worry, we’ve got plenty of hands-on activities planned for you to enjoy.

SOME SPECIFICS:

  • Observatory Park will be dark, but please do not bring a bright flashlight; bring a red light as it will be less intrusive to other watchers. Adjust the brightness of electronic devices.
  • PARKING: Limited parking for those with accessibility tags is available onsite. Parking is also available at the field at the corner of DeSellum & Rt. 355 – 2 blocks from the park.
  • Portable bathrooms will be available. There is no running water in the park. Alcohol is not permitted at events in City parks.

Events at Observatory Park could be canceled or modified at the last moment if conditions, including inclement weather or Covid restrictions, limit the event. Please check the Community Museum’s Facebook page for last-minute announcements. Those who pre-register will receive an email with event changes.
