The Crystal Coast Stargazers are excited to assist Ft. Macon State Park once again in hosting a Star Party location as part of the NC Science Festival’s Statewide Star Party. There will be several hands-on activities that our younger participants (and the young at heart) can try while it is still light outside. Once it gets dark, Ranger Paul Terry will give a visual tour of the night sky, followed by free viewing through the many telescopes we expect to have on site for the night.We will have one rain date of April 5th for this event in case of bad weather. No Pets please.

Unless you have someone with true mobility issues, we ask that you park in the first parking lot when you enter area (the lot West of the Bathhouse) then walk over to the program area in the East lot. We hope this will help prevent people being blinded by headlights as people leave.
***PLEASE NOTE!!! We have had some issues with times posted for some of our events recently. The start time for this event is 7:00PM. If you wish to attend the event, we suggest showing up at the posted start time rather than towards the end. We will only stay as long as there are guests. We cannot guarantee that the event will last for the entire listed duration or that we will even be present. The park closes at 8:00PM, which includes the beach. We have permission to use the property specifically for this event and only for this event. This is not an open invitation to go to the beach. If you are there after 8:00PM and not attending the event, you will be asked to leave by park staff. Thank you!!!***
