Star Party at Oracle State Park

Oracle State Park

Saturday, February 22, 2025   5:30-9 p.m.

Join us on February 22 for an unforgettable evening experiencing the night sky at Oracle State Park, an International Dark Sky Park! Kick off the evening with some live cosmic American soul music by Alex Moondaze (@alexmoondaze on Instagram) who will be performing a solo set from 5:30 to 6:30 PM on the ranch house patio, then enjoy guided telescope viewing with the Tucson Amateur Astronomy Association from 7:00 to 9:00 PM, offering a unique opportunity to observe planets, stars, and deep space objects through their telescopes.

We will also have a ranger showcasing Oracle State Park's computerized telescope which will be projecting stunning views of deep-space objects onto a wall of the historic ranch house. You won't want to miss this unique event!

Meet at the ranch house patio. If you would like a place to sit, we recommend bringing folding chairs, as our patio seating may fill up during the event. The star party does not require registration and is free with regular park admission.
