More » The 10th Annual Acadia Night Sky Festival will take place September 5–9, 2018, throughout Acadia National Park and the surrounding communities on Mount Desert Island and the Schoodic Peninsula. The festival is a community celebration, with more than 40 events promoting the protection and enjoyment of Downeast Maine’s stellar night sky as a valuable natural resource through education, science and the arts.
Maine’s rocky shoreline is home to Acadia National Park and some of the last pristine, star-filled night skies in the eastern United States. Here, the Milky Way shines bright in the largest expanse of naturally dark sky east of the Mississippi. Enjoy learning more about the night skies from a variety of nationally recognized speakers, workshops, celestial viewings, paddles, and more.
