A part of the NC Science Festival, the State-wide star party is a free all-ages Astronomy Event and Wilkerson tradition since 2013. Join us after sunset to observe the moon, planets and more with our telescopes or bring your own telescope and join the fun. There will also be hands-on space-science activities for families at our picnic shelter and ed center. Please park in the overflow parking lot and follow the “Solar System Walk” to the telescope field near the park office. Bring a flashlight (with a red light if possible) to aid you in walking after dark. Adults must accompany their children.
Pre-registration is appreciated but not required.
