Dark Sky Festival   August 2020 - Suspended

Due to the current global COVID-19 situation, the organizers of the Dark Sky Festival have decided to suspend our plans to host the 2020 Dark Sky Festival event.

As circumstances improve, we may consider sponsoring a "scaled-down version" of the event. Please check for updates.
Come and explore the universe and enjoy our
renowned northern hospitality!
Thebacha and Wood Buffalo Dark Sky Festival is hosted mid-to-late August in Fort Smith, NT and also in the world's largest Dark Sky Preserve, Wood Buffalo National Park.

Join us for an exciting multi-day journey of exploring the wonders of our universe and the sciences that makes it all work.
