The Davidson College Physics Department and Society of Physics Students is hosting its annual Star Party on Saturday, April 25, 2026, from 8 to 10:30 p.m. This event is free and open to the public. The Star Party is part of North Carolina Science Festival.
The Star Party takes place on the campus of Davidson College, 405 N Main Street, Davidson, North Carolina. You can find campus maps here, and the map below shows where the Star Party takes place.
The event will begin with interactive exhibits and games on the Campus Lawn at 8 p.m. There will be plenty of hands-on activities for all ages to learn about the solar system, black holes, asteroids and much more.
As darkness falls, telescopes will be set up on the lawn, with stargazing beginning at 9 p.m.
