The public is invited to share our telescopes to observe the sky. We’ll show such objects as planets, galaxies, nebulae, star clusters, and more. Festivities will take place at the Pedernales Falls Star Theater, adjacent to the Equestrian Area. The location is shown in blue in the map below.   

The evening will begin at 7:30 p.m. and go until 10:30 p.m.

A flashlight with a red bulb is good, but we have red cellophane we can use to cover a white light. Please do not bring a dog, unless it is a service animal; we prefer not to have dogs around the telescopes in the dark. Smoking is not permitted in the area of the telescopes because the smoke can damage optical equipment. Public consumption of alcoholic beverages is not allowed in state parks.

If the weather on a scheduled star party day seems questionable for viewing, you can check this website or call the state park office.
