Star Fest

🎉 Join us for Star Fest and experience telescope viewings, constellation seeking, and other nighttime activities during this annual festival.

Join members of the Hill Country Astronomers, Friends of Enchanted Rock and park staff for a tour through space. Multiple telescopes will be set up for the duration of the event for viewing stars and other deep space objects.

As an International Dark Sky Park, Enchanted Rock boasts some of the darkest skies in this part of Texas, which means the stars at night ARE big and bright deep in the heart of Texas.

Schedule of events:
TBD - Will be updated once details are finalized.

Check-in all visitors must check-in at park headquarters during office hours or at the self-pay station outside of office hours.
