Dark Sky Festival

The Donnelly Dark Sky Festival

On November 5 th , 2022, the Junior Friends of the Donnelly Library will be hosting and celebrating the First Annual Donnelly Dark Sky Festival.

The festival will begin at 6pm at the historical Roseberry Barn on the corner of Roseberry Road and Farm to Market Road.

The event will include astrological presentations from the students at BSU, live music from the bluegrass band Wheelhouse, star gazing during the Taurids meteor shower, a food truck, raffle and more! The event is free to attend, family friendly and all ages are welcome.

The purpose of the Donnelly Dark Sky Festival is to promote dark sky awareness and discourage light pollution. By using downward facing lights and light timers, you can ensure that future generations have the chance to see the Milky Way in the Idaho sky. Our two raffle baskets will include many things to help you with your dark sky initiative at home as well as make the stars a delight to navigate.

Should you have any questions about the event, you can go to the Donnelly Library website or call the library directly.
