Sidewalk Astronomy

Sidewalk Astronomy February

UPDATE!

We’re sorry to announce that Sidewalk Astronomy, originally scheduled for February 27 from 6-10pm, has been postponed due to unfavorable weather conditions. We want to ensure everyone has the best possible experience under clear skies, so we’ll reschedule this event to a later date. Stay tuned for updates!

When we do gather, The Bishop will bring the universe a little closer with FREE telescope viewing, offering glimpses of planets, the Moon, and dazzling deep sky objects. We’re proud to partner with the Local Group of Deep Sky observers and local food vendors for an unforgettable stellar evening. Planetarium shows will still be available for just $5 per person (free for members).

Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to seeing you under the stars soon! Follow us for the new date and tag your favorite stargazer to plan ahead.


Join us for a night of delicious bites and celestial sights on February 27 from 6-10pm at The Bishop!

We have partnered with the Local Group of Deep Sky Observers (LGDSO) to bring Sidewalk Astronomy to The Bishop. At this FREE event, you’ll have a chance to see planets, moons, and maybe some deep-sky objects through powerful telescopes. We’ve also partnered with local food vendors FEWD Tent and Edible Cookie Dough Cafe, so you can enjoy a bite while observing the universe. Drinks, including water, soda, wine, and beer, will be available for purchase.
In addition to telescopes and tacos, you’ll have a chance to see the planetarium show, Forward! To the Moon, at 6:30, 7:15, 8:15, and 9:15 for just $5 a person or free for members. 

See you under the stars for this special FREE event at The Bishop!

Please note: The main Museum and Parker Manatee Rehabilitation Habitat will be closed during this event. Service animals are the only animals allowed on site.

The event is finished.
