Which one gets your wish?. Jasper Dark Sky Festival
Amidst the rugged terrain of the Canadian Rockies lies Jasper National Park, boasting towering peaks, serene lakes, and a diverse range of wildlife. The national park was established in 1907 and got its name from Jasper Haws, a fur trader. A UNESCO World Heritage Site and the largest dark-sky preserve in the world, it lures stargazers and nature enthusiasts alike. If you wish to see the dazzling Milky Way unhindered by pollution, the Jasper Dark Sky Festival on October 22— held at various locations in Jasper National Park— provides a fascinating opportunity to do so. Informative workshops and powerful telescopes will offer you the chance to lose yourself among the stars.
