Stars Over Katahdin is the Katahdin Region’s annual celebration of the darkest skies east of the Mississippi River. Following years of this event and local advocacy, the exceptionally dark skies above Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument were formally recognized as an International Dark Sky Sanctuary. We host campfire chats each year to inspire us all before viewing the night skies through state-of-the-art telescopes. Join Friends of Katahdin Woods and Waters, the National Park Service, and astronomers and naturalists for a wondrous night of discovery and learning! Family-friendly. Please, no dogs.
