The National Park Service, steward of Joshua Tree National Park and over 400 other park sites around the country, celebrates its 100th birthday in 2016. At Joshua Tree National Park, we cordially invite you to join us for our first ever Night Sky Festival on Friday, October 16–Sunday, October 18, 2015. This event kicks off our celebration of the NPS Centennial by bringing together astronomers, scientists, cultural speakers, night-sky enthusiasts, artists, volunteers, junior rangers, and members of nearby communities to celebrate the night skies of Joshua Tree National Park. In preparation for the event be sure to bring food and water, extra layers of clothes, and a chair. If possible please use only red light, as white lights can diminish the ability to see the night sky clearly. To find out more about the festival and for tips on how to be fully prepared, check out our website at www.nps.gov/jotr or call us at 760-367-5522
