ABOUT THIS EVENT
Join us for the NC Science Festival’s Statewide Star Party, themed “Your Place in Space”! Take part in fun, hands-on activities, including solar system walks (two times will be available), games, crafts and face painting. As the sun goes down, enjoy constellation storytelling around the campfire and observe the night sky through telescopes as our experts take you on a celestial tour, including the Moon, Mars, and Jupiter!
This free Star Party event is hosted by Wake County’s American Tobacco Trail staff partnering with the Agape Center for Environmental Education, the Raleigh Astronomy Club, Girl Scout Troop 2584, and Girl Scout Area Wake 23.
All ages and skill levels are welcome. Bring your curiosity, water bottle, chair and/or blanket, and a picnic dinner to enjoy beforehand if you wish. This event will take place on the back field of the White Oak parking area under the stars. Registration is not required.
The NC Science Festival’s annual Statewide Star Party is made possible through the generous support of the NC Space Grant.
