picture of dark sky festival
Mid-to-late August

The night is wrapped up with viewing our pristine northern skies, and with some luck, an aurora borealis display.

The annual Dark Sky Festival 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.
