Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore is looking to the stars and celebrating 40 years as a unit of the National Park Service! Join us from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Thursday, October 21 for a special presentation of the night sky in partnership with the Grand Traverse Astronomical Society. Get a close-up look at the (almost) full moon, search for planets, and enjoy the views from the top of the dunes. Dress for the weather and take a flashlight for the walk back to your vehicle.
