International Dark Sky Week: Stargazing at Altar Rock

Join us in celebrating International Dark Sky Week this year with an unforgettable evening of stargazing at Altar Rock, in the Middle Moors, hosted by the Nantucket Conservation Foundation, Nantucket Lights, and the Maria Mitchell Association. This free, family-friendly community event offers a unique opportunity to appreciate the night sky while also learning about light pollution and the importance of preserving Nantucket’s natural starlit beauty.

Guided by expert stargazers, attendees will discover constellations and celestial wonders in a pristine, low-light environment. Enjoy complimentary snacks and hot beverages as you immerse yourself in the awe-inspiring experience of a Nantucket night under the stars. Parking is available along Altar Rock Road, with assistance from our volunteers in getting to Altar Rock in the dark. Don’t miss this chance to connect, learn, and be inspired by the beauty of the night sky.
