Dark Skies Festival in Bayfield
January 17 @ 8:00 am – January 25 @ 5:00 pm

Be a star. Make plans to join us as the stars come out in Bayfield for the Dark Skies Star Bright Festival January 17th – 25th, 2026.
Nights in the Apostle Islands shine under some of the darkest, most beautiful dark skies left in the Midwest. Help us protect and celebrate those starry nights with a week of art, photography, programs, an indoor planetarium, outdoor stargazing, snowshoe hikes, sauna under the stars, fine food, fun, and more.
Check out the nightly event schedule on the official website. There’s something for everyone who loves the night sky.
