Description

Savannas Preserve State Park is proud to host a Star Party (Gathering of friends and other like-minded people to observe the night sky) with beloved members of the Treasure Coast Astronomical Society at our Jensen Beach Entrance off Jensen Beach Blvd on Saturday November 1st from 7-9pm. Pending clear skies, we hope to view Venus, Saturn, Jupiter, and of course, stars! Bring your cellphone to take pictures through the telescope! You may also wish to bring chairs to sit and enjoy the sounds of the marsh after dark.
Things to consider: You may wish to bring bug spray as the Preserve is near a marsh. Restrooms are available via a port-o-potty near the pavilion. The event will take place after dark, so please take caution and bring red lights (preferred) or sparingly use flashlights directed to the ground so as not to disturb night vision. If this is your first star party, feel free to read over some common Star Party Etiquette tips at this link: https://kscaa.space/star-party-etiquette For questions, please call (772) 398-2779
