Presented by DarkSky.Org, International Dark Sky Week is a global celebration of the night held April 13-20, 2026.
From the darkness needed for a restful night’s sleep to the activities we enjoy beneath the stars, the night is filled with wonder and importance. Dark nights sustain critical wildlife ecosystems, strengthen the well-being of our communities, enable scientific discovery, and preserve shared cultural knowledge and traditions.
Follow along on Loyalsock Foundation’s social media this week as we share information about the importance of protecting dark skies, simple ways to reduce light pollution, and how you can help keep the night sky visible for generations to come.
