The Methow Dark Sky Coalition, a program of the Methow Valley Citizens Council, is excited to invite your business to participate in Dark Sky Week 2025, taking place April 21–28. Part of a worldwide celebration, Dark Sky Week honors the beauty of star-filled skies, the role of darkness in healthy ecosystems, and our deep connection to the cosmos. As artificial light increases globally, the Methow Valley remains a rare haven for some of the darkest night skies in the country. It’s also great for the local economy! 

They are planning a week of stargazing gatherings, night hikes, art, and take-home activities, with opportunities to connect with fellow dark sky enthusiasts.
