Eye on the Sky stargazing party at Sugarbush at Sugarbush Resort – Warren, VT

🌟 Mark Breen, Planetarium Director of the Fairbanks Museum & Planetarium, and Jane Lindholm will guide you through the night skies and answer your questions about the stars, planets and constellations. You’ll learn about the Summer Triangle, meteor showers, how to use the Big Dipper to find other stars and much more.

🎸Enjoy live music from Tritium Well from 7-8:30 p.m. Known as “the House Band for the Northeast Kingdom,” they will be playing radioactive roots, rock and a dance-inducing repertoire of originals and music from many cultures. Featuring Musicians Nicolas Anzalone, Bobby Farlice-Rubio, Linda Warnaar, and Kevin Colosa.

🍕 Sugarbush will have a summer backyard grill and hand tossed pizza station, along with alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks for sale. There will be vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options available. No outside food or drink is allowed on the property.

🔭We’ll have lawn games and other activities for all ages. Plus, all attendees will be entered to win a telescope, which we will give away that evening so you can use it for stargazing!
