Dark Sky Celebration
Join us for a free family-friendly event brought to you by Visit Durango in collaboration with The Powerhouse. Prepare to be dazzled as we kick off the opening of our newest traveling exhibit in the gallery, “Sun, Earth, Universe”. Explore the wonders of our celestial surroundings through the interactive exhibit, informative presentations, and exciting activities for kids and adults alike. This event celebrates Durango’s commitment to becoming a Dark Sky community and marks our progress towards this certification. With presentations by The Powerhouse, Visit Durango, and Dark Sky Colorado, you’ll gain valuable insights into the importance of reducing light pollution and its impact on our environment.
This event is free and open to science enthusiasts, families, and anyone eager to learn about the cosmos and dark sky preservation! Light refreshments will be provided, and the bar open for drink purchases.
