Why did the Astronomer bring a ladder to work? Because they wanted to reach for the stars! 🌟
Well, even though we can't physically reach any stars, we can sure admire them from afar! And what better time to go stargazing than during the 2026 Southwest Astronomy Festival??
From September 11th through the 13th, experience Southwest Utah's night skies like never before with numerous astronomy programs occurring throughout the region. From here at Cedar Breaks National Monument, to Snow Canyon and Gunlock State Parks, to the Red Cliffs Desert Garden, and beyond!
The weekend will also include special presentations by guest speakers and professional astronomers. Check out our website for the full schedule of the festival and details about each of the programs and events!
