Join us for a special evening of music and stargazing at Oracle State Park, an official International Dark Sky Park!
From 5-6 p.m., enjoy acoustic folk music from local Oracle musician Fred Terry, who will be performing on the ranch house patio as the sun sets.
From 6-8 p.m., members from the Tucson Amateur Astronomy Association (TAAA) will guide you through the night sky with several telescopes set up just outside the ranch house. View planets, stars, and deep space objects through powerful telescopes and learn from local astronomers!
The patio and Kannally Ranch House will be open throughout the event. Feel free to bring a picnic dinner to enjoy on the patio, and take a self-guided tour of the historic Kannally Ranch House.
Bring folding chairs if you'd like a guaranteed seat; patio space is limited and fills up quickly.
This star party is free with regular day-use admission or an annual state parks pass, and does not require registration.
Questions? Call the park at 520-896-2425 or email Ranger Michael at mbain@azstateparks.gov.
