International Dark Sky Week is part of a worldwide celebration honoring the beauty of star-filled skies, the role of darkness in human and ecosystem health, 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.

Join the Methow Dark Sky Coalition, a program of Methow Valley Citizens Council, in celebrating our rural night skies and support participating business partners across the Methow Valley. Check out the Events Calendar for a week full of activities and ways to join in the fun! To learn more about the Methow Dark Sky Coalition and how you can get involved, visit methowdarksky.org.
