Moonlight Melodies with Wild Notes🌓🎼
Sat, September 19, 2026
Experience an unforgettable night where music, astronomy, and nature unite under the glowing moon in celebration of International Observe the Moon Night.✨
We’ll kick things off with a 30‑minute moongazing adventure using telescopes, spotting
scopes, and binoculars. Ranger Regina will help you explore the moon’s craters, mountains, and mysteries up close while sharing tips to make your lunar viewing even more magical.
Then at 8:30 PM, settle in for a captivating 10–15 minute live cello performance from Wild Notes founder Dr. Amanda Guilfoyle inspired by the moon’s beauty and atmosphere. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the moment with the unaided-eye view of the moon while the music drifts through the night air. 🎶
Staff will be on hand throughout the event to answer questions and help you make the most of this one-of-a-kind celestial evening. Don’t miss it—this night is sure to be stellar! 🔭⭐
