Star Party

Coming back in 2026

Various branches

Star Party

In partnership with the Salt Lake Astronomical Society

Amateur astronomers of all ages are invited to learn more about the night sky and get a closer look at celestial bodies and their hidden secrets through some of Utah’s largest telescopes. You'll see the moon, our solar system, and far-away stars and galaxies in a whole new way! Learn more about our Star Parties in this Connect video.

  • Star Parties will be back in 2026
