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, celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2024. We will be back in 2025 as we take our first step towards year 50! We will follow our typical schedule, from Wednesday evening, July 9 through Saturday July 12, this four-night festival of astronomy activities and stargazing will run from 8:30 to 11:30 p.m. each night during the 2025 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 the wonders of astronomy with us 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.
The 2025 program information and nightly schedules will be posted here when they are ready.
