Texas Night Sky Festival

🌑 Tonight is a new moon — the darkest sky of the month. And tomorrow, Dripping Springs is throwing a party for it. The Texas Night Sky Festival is Monday, March 30 at Ranch Park. Free admission. All ages. But before you get there, tonight is worth stepping outside for. No moonlight means the Milky Way is visible from most neighborhoods after 9 PM. The Orion Nebula. The Leo galaxies. Star clusters that disappear on brighter nights. You don't need a telescope or a plan — just walk outside and look up. Tomorrow at Ranch Park (Noon – 11 PM): Three planetariums. Solar observations in the afternoon. A Star Party once it gets dark. Live music, food, yoga under the stars, Indigenous storytellers, and Dark Sky patch programs for kids. It's a full day that turns into a genuinely memorable night. This is also worth knowing: Dripping Springs was the first city in Texas to earn International Dark Sky Community designation — back in 2014, when the city committed to actively managing light pollution. New moon weekends are when that decision pays off most visibly. In a county growing as fast as Hays, that designation is something worth protecting. The festival is a reminder of what makes this place worth living in. 📍 Ranch Park · 1042 Event Center Drive · Free 👉 Full event details at DrippingSocial.com — your guide to the social side of Dripping Springs.
