Experience Myakka's Magic and Dark Sky during our

astronomy night at Myakka River State Park!   

Join the Friends of Myakka River from 6:30 to 9 PM on Saturday, March 7th for an evening exploration of the night sky at Myakka River State Park when we partner with the Suncoast Stargazers for a magical evening of observing the heavens.

Our astronomy experts will provide event participants with the opportunity to view planets, galaxies, and star clusters using state-of-the-art telescopes.  The dark skies of the park should make for nearly ideal observing conditions.
