Discover Central Australia’s night skies at Dark Skies Festival

Uncover the secrets of the Red Centre’s expansive night skies at the Dark Skies Festival in Alice Springs from 25-29 May 2022. Taking place at one of the region’s most unique tourist attractions, Earth Sanctuary, the festival includes a variety of experiences to take star gazing to the next level.

As well as the chance to learn about astronomy, look through Deep Sky Telescopes and enjoy live performances, there is also an Under the Stars Dining experience, Bush Tucker Canapés with expert Rayleen Brown from Kungkas Can Cook, and the chance to sleep under the stars at the Sunset to Sunrise Sleep Over.

There will also be presentations on the Sun, Moon, Southern Cross, Orion, Pleiades and the Magellanic Clouds.

Dark Skies Festival Co-Director Dan Falzon said visitors of the Dark Sky Festival will get to celebrate and soak in the wonder of the Milky Way galaxy, as well as immerse themselves in an exclusively curated audio and visual experience.

“Earth Sanctuary is proud our Central Australian backyard is something that is celebrated and sought after all over the world, a pride we hope locals can take ownership of and enjoy with us over the course of Dark Skies Festival,” he said.

Dark Skies Festival is supported by the Northern Territory Government through the Northern Territory Major Events Company Event Funding Program.
