Summer evenings in Missouri hold so much promise, whether we’re enjoying a backyard barbecue or indulging in delicious treats at a local fair. A summer night is also ideal for stargazing. Join other enthusiastic visitors for an evening of stargazing at Knob Noster State Park in Knob Noster, Missouri, which is hosting two stargazing events this summer.
Spend an evening under the stars at Knob Noster State Park which, along with the Astronomical Society of Kansas City and the Hi Lonesome Chapter of Missouri Master Naturalists, will host two Dark Skies viewing programs this summer.
Held at Shawnee Group Camp at the Missouri state park, the Dark Skies programs are set for June 30 and August 4, 2023. The event begins at 9 p.m. on both evenings.
Before you head over to the state park for the special event, make sure you have everything you need for a comfortable evening. Organizers recommend bringing something to sit on (a chair or a blanket), water, snacks, and a flashlight.
The program may be canceled due to inclement weather or a cloudy sky. Stop by the Knob Noster State Park Facebook page to check for cancelations and additional information.
