UPDATE August 3, 2024: OK Folks, we are forging ahead with tonight’s star party. May be some clouds drifting through, but indications are that it should be a good evening at Cloudland!

Please join us at the Disc Golf parking area for an evening of astronomical observations with visual telescopes, Electronically Assisted scopes and monitors, and just looking up with our eyes!

Family-friendly, accessible, and guaranteed awesome! You do not need a telescope – the BAS will provide everything!

Note: BAS events are free to all, but Cloudland Canyon requires a $5.00 parking fee per vehicle.
