Mid-Hudson Astronomical Association

November Member Moonwalk during Celebration of Lights (Walkway Over The Hudson)

The November Member Moonwalk will be held during the City of Poughkeepsie’s annual Celebration of Lights event on Friday, November 30 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. You won’t want to miss an incredible holiday fireworks display.

Visitors will also have the opportunity to look at
the stars and planets through the lens of the Mid-Hudson Astronomical Association. We
welcome carolers from throughout the region to
join in the festivities.

Members will have access to the event and a premier view of the fireworks display from the Walkway, beginning at 7:00 p.m. The public is also invited to enjoy the view from the Walkway for a $5 per person admission fee. Children under the age of 16 are free. Walkway will be selling hot chocolate and will have coupons to Poughkeepsie River District restaurants available.

Note: This event is on the Poughkeepsie side

    I don't have a scope and probably have to work too late to make it by 6:00 so I will just pay to attend. Do you still need to count me and my guests in?
