​ 2022 Dark Sky Festival
   August 18 to 21, 2022

Dark Sky Festival

The annual Dark Sky Festival​ (DSF) is a multi-day event that is hosted typically mid-to-late August in Fort Smith NT and 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.
​
Our program offers a variety of afternoon activities and workshops for all members of the family and then it continues with evening events, including opportunities for some casual socializing. The day, or should we say night, is wrapped up with viewing our pristine northern skies, and with some luck, an aurora borealis display.

Come and explore the universe and enjoy our northern hospitality!​
