What is a Star Party?

A star party is an exciting gathering of astronomy enthusiasts and curious individuals who come together to appreciate the wonders of the universe. It’s a chance to explore celestial objects, participate in interactive theme-based activities, and share new experiences with fellow stargazers of all levels. During the Statewide Star Party, the Bell Museum partners with organizations across Minnesota to orchestrate a symphony of star parties taking place during the same weekend.
