Ballroom Marfa and the McDonald Observatory invite you to an evening under the stars!

Join us for a special Dark Skies Festival event at Ballroom Marfa’s Stone Circle, where an astronomer will guide us on a tour through the constellations as night falls over the high desert. This gathering extends the cosmic themes of Ballroom’s current exhibition Elemental Currents into the legendarily dark West Texas sky as we celebrate International Dark Sky Week. For those who can’t make it to Stone Circle, or can’t get enough of the night sky, star parties will also be happening across Marfa, Fort Davis, Alpine, and Terlingua throughout the week. As always, this community event is free and open to the public.

Wednesday, April 23
9–10 PM (arrive by 9 for the full experience)
Ballroom Marfa Stone Circle
Ranch Rd 1112, Marfa, TX 79843
