The Boreal Stargazing Week is set to take place from February 9 to 15, 2026, according to a recent news release by the National Park Service. The week-long event, which celebrates one of the world’s largest dark sky regions, will feature in-person stargazing events across Minnesota. It aims to promote appreciation for the night sky and educate the public about the importance of preserving dark skies.
In addition to the in-person events, the Boreal Stargazing Week will also offer free virtual educational programs. These online sessions aim to make the event accessible to those who cannot attend the live events in Minnesota. The virtual programs will cover a range of topics, including the science of stars and planets, the cultural significance of constellations, and tips for stargazing at home.
The Boreal Stargazing Week is part of the National Park Service’s ongoing commitment to preserving and promoting natural and cultural resources. The event provides an opportunity for people of all ages to learn about and experience the beauty of the night sky.
