Stargazing Party in Pflugerville - Observe Jupiter, Mars, and more!

Join us for a Stargazing Party in Pflugerville! The public is invited to look through telescopes and observe the night sky. We'll showcase celestial objects such as Jupiter, Mars, the half-moon, galaxies, nebulae, star clusters, and more.

Event Details:

• Location: Football field by the restroom/picnic table pavilion in the NW corner of the park, near parking lot B (see map in event photos).
• Cost: Free entry and participation.

What to Expect:

• Telescopic Views: Experience stunning views of planets and deep-sky objects.
• Refreshments: Drinks and snacks will be available. Feel free to bring your own food and drinks (no glass containers, please).
• Family-Friendly: This event is perfect for all ages. However, please do not bring dogs, unless they are service animals, as we prefer not to have dogs around the telescopes in the dark.

Tips for Attendees:

• Lighting: A flashlight with a red bulb is recommended. We will provide red cellophane to cover white lights if needed.
• Smoking: Smoking is not permitted near the telescopes to protect the optical equipment.
• Weather Updates: If the weather seems questionable, call the City of Pflugerville Parks and Recreation department for updates, I will also be calling to confirm if weather looks questionable.
• Phones: Keep your phones off or better yet in the car.

Join us for an unforgettable night under the stars!
Feel free to bring lawn chairs or blankets, as well as snacks! Please no glass containers and no alcohol. There is plenty of room we can setup and have a community area to be social away from the telescopes and create connections. Look for the Red Glowstick party!
Pflugerville parks and rec does a great job of lighting the path and use of signage. It's a quick walk from the parking lot. Additional parking is also available in parking lot A, it just will result in a long walk for those that cannot make it on time. (Please see map)

Maybe cancelled due to weather.
