At night, Jasper is a stunning wilderness of stars. Home to the world’s largest accessible Dark Sky Preserve, Jasper makes it easy to appreciate and experience it all during the Jasper Dark Sky Festival.
UPDATE: Despite the summer 2024 wildfire in Jasper, the festival is on! While the programming will look a little different, Jasper is welcoming back visitors and now is the time to show your support by getting out to this year's Dark Sky Festival.
This year is the 14th year of the festival, and the depth of expertise and creativity at the festival continues to grow.
You won't just be looking at stars, you'll be learning the science of astronomy, connecting with Indigenous knowledge keepers and enjoying awe-inspiring events, like the Symphony Under the Stars at JPL.
