AstroFest

Welcome to AstroFest!

The Penn State Eberly College of Science’s popular AstroFest program, a longtime outreach of the Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics, will celebrate its 25th anniversary this year, welcoming visitors to Davey Laboratory from Wednesday, July 10, through Saturday, July 13. The four-night festival of astronomy activities and stargazing will run from 8:30 to 11:30 p.m. each night during the 2024 Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts.

AstroFest will offer visitors of all ages a variety of fun and educational activities. The public is encouraged to come enjoy the night sky and celebrate the 25th anniversary of AstroFest at Davey Lab, located across from the HUB-Robeson Center on the Penn State University Park campus. Events are free and will occur rain or shine, both in classrooms and in the planetarium on the fifth floor of Davey Lab.
