Dark Sky Festival

The Dark Sky Festival is intended to celebrate and promote the benefits of a night-sky free from the effects of excessive artificial lighting. National Dark-Sky Week seeks to educate the public about lighting fixtures that help reduce light pollution by focusing light downward instead of up into the sky. The event also encourages the development of scientific interest in Florida youth

The fun aspects of the festival such as telescopes for viewing the stars, a kids zone with a speaker talking about Myths in the Night, speakers talking about light pollution and a music by Motown recording artists, Rare Earth. Is that they will be able to enjoy viewing the stars, night skies through a variety of telescopes while enjoying music and food, stopping by numerous specialty booths, meeting astronomers and other scientists, playing in the Cosmic Kids Zone and so much more. I know how much fun it is to talk something interesting we know, and talking about Myths in the night and about light pollution is so much fun to talk about.

The festival is so very interesting, fun and most of all it's free and open to the general public. That's why if you want to join their festival visit their site now. For more information on the 5th Annual Dark Sky Festival at Harmony, please call the Harmony Institute at 407-891-8358.
