Sat, 10/03/2015 - 6:00pm to 9:30pm

*CANCELLED* Due to concerns about the extreme weather potentially headed our way, Dark Skies Bright Kids has canceled Saturday night's Star Party.  Check their facebook page for possible future events this year, and we hope you'll join us for the Star Party next year!

 

It's that time of year: join us for an evening of fun for the whole family under the starry night sky! (Or even if it's not so starry, there will be plenty to do indoors at this event!)

Dark Skies Bright Kids hosts an evening of education and entertainment at Albemarle CiderWorks for the 3rd year in a row.  View the universe through a telescope, take a tour of the galaxy, learn all about our solar system, and check out the traveling planetarium!  

You and your family are invited to join us for the Fifth Annual Central Virginia Star Party at Albemarle CiderWorks.  Bring your curiosity and join us to view spectacular astronomical objects through telescopes and learn about the solar system, the night sky, galaxies, and the universe with fun hands-on activities. 
(Guided telescope observing and night sky tours begin at sundown.)

1 FREE glow stick for each child (while supplies last)!

This Star Party is sponsored by the "Dark Skies, Bright Kids" program at UVa.

This party is free and open to the public; hard cider will be available for tasting and purchase, and there will food trucks Pearl Island, Spiked, and Sweet Tooth will be on site to handle your dining needs.
