Bryce Canyon Astronomy Festival 2026

There’s no place quite like Bryce Canyon by day, and no time like a new moon in June to enjoy it by night. Astronomy festivals feature family-friendly daytime activities and special evening programs, telescope viewing, and constellation tours. The 2026 Bryce Canyon Astronomy Festival is scheduled for Thursday June 11, Friday June 12, and Saturday June 13, 2026. As always, attending the festival is free with park admission. Some events require advance sign-up. Evening programs have tickets available same-day at 8 a.m. the Visitor Center. There is no advance sign-up. Other programs, such as the astrophotography workshop, can be signed up for in advance. Most other programs, including nightly telescope viewing, are open to the public.
