Location: Oak Road Nature Preserve

August 28, 2025 @ 8:30 pm - 10:30 pm

Due to the cloudy weather forecast, this program was moved from its original date of Wednesday, August 27 to the scheduled weather date of Thursday, August 28. It will be at the same time from 8:30 pm – 10:30 pm and the same location at Oak Road Nature Preserve.

The Guided Stargazing program offers an enchanting blend of education and entertainment, perfect for those eager to explore the wonders of the night sky. Led by an expert guide, participants will embark on a celestial journey to identify over a dozen constellations, several dazzling stars, our very own Milky Way galaxy, and perhaps even catch a rare glimpse of a distant galaxy speeding toward us from deep space!

Along the way, we’ll weave in fascinating tales from both Greek and Asian mythology, adding a cultural layer to the experience. A dash of astronomy science will also illuminate the cosmos, bringing the stars and planets to life in new ways. Designed for unaided (naked-eye) viewing, this program invites you to connect with the universe around you—but if you have binoculars, feel free to bring them for an even closer look. Join us for an unforgettable night under the stars!

This program is in partnership with the Door Peninsula Astronomical Society.

Spots now open! No need to sign-up, just meet us at the Oak Road Nature Preserve parking lot at 8:30 pm!
