- **Event Description**: Join the National Park Service and members of the Grand Traverse Astronomical Society for a special evening under the stars at Sleeping Bear Dunes!

GTAS volunteers will have telescopes set up to provide views of celestial objects visible in the summer night sky. Whether you're an experienced observer or looking through a telescope for the first time, we'd love to share the wonders of the universe with you.

This event is free with a valid park pass. In the past, parking has been limited right at 9:00 PM, so arriving a little later may make finding a parking spot easier.

We hope you'll join us for an unforgettable night of astronomy and exploration!
