Stargazers can enjoy an evening under the stars Saturday, Nov. 14, when Devils River State Natural Area’s Del Norte Unit hosts a Star Party with the San Antonio Astronomical Association.
According to Texas Parks and Wildlife, the event will run from 7 to 10 p.m., although the association’s calendar lists different hours.
Visitors will meet in the headquarters parking area, and organizers encourage participants to bring folding chairs, red flashlights and binoculars and dress for the weather.
The program is free with park admission, which costs $5 for visitors ages 13 and older, while children 12 and younger enter free.
The Del Norte Unit, located at 21715 Dolan Creek Road, is an International Dark Sky Sanctuary.
Reservations are required to visit the natural area, but arrival arrangements for the evening program need confirmation because regular park rules prohibit check-in after 4 p.m.
The unit is scheduled to reopen Friday, Nov. 13, following a closure caused by flooding on Dolan Creek Road, so visitors should confirm road conditions before traveling.
For event information and updates, contact Gergo Perlaky at 737-289-3250 or Gergo.Perlaky@tpwd.texas.gov, or check the Devils River State Natural Area Facebook page.
