Island Star Party 2025

The Victoria Centre of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada (RASC) sponsors the Island Star Party, which is open to astronomers and members of the public who wish to observe celestial objects from St. Stephen’s Church yard.

Gates will open at 2 p.m. on Friday August 22 and will remain open until noon on Sunday August 24. Members of the public can drop in during the Star Party free of charge, and people who choose to camp overnight near the observing field are urged to make a donation.

“We’ll enjoy the night sky together. Bring your telescope if you like. There will be many for you to look through. And for those who don’t know where to start, we’ll show you around,” said Star Party Coordinator Randy Enkin.

Everyone who is present is entitled to tickets for door prizes, including a telescope. There will also be activities in the afternoons and evenings, including telescope walks, and expert speakers.
