Bay Area Star Party - Santa Cruz

Take a tour of the night sky with our regional star party at over 10 different sites across the Bay Area. Colleges, schools, observatories and science centers around the Bay Area will be open for a special evening of astronomical fun.
No telescope, no problem! Both professional and amateur astronomers will be on hand to offer telescope viewing and observing tips.
If the sky is cloudy, many sites will still offer indoor astronomy activities. Some institutions will also have astronomy talks and events that evening, regardless of the weather. Join us for a stellar evening.
The event will take place on the UCSC campus, on a field behind the Music Center starting at 7:30pm. We will be setting up numerous telescopes. Visitors will be taken on a tour of the night sky from planets and moons within our solar system to star forming nebulae to ancient globular clusters to decaying remnants of exploded stars to neighboring galaxies.
Please Note: All star gazing parties have the possibility of being cancelled at the last minute due to bad weather. Please check this website prior to departing for the event!
