Stars above, stillness below. Jasper Dark Sky Festival, Alberta

As dusk settles over Jasper National Park, Alberta, the stars begin to dot the sky, glittering like diamonds. This panorama is no accident—as a designated Dark Sky Preserve since 2011, Jasper has made strides to protect its nocturnal environment, minimising light pollution and allowing stargazers to witness the galaxy's splendour unhindered. Jasper National Park is the largest national park within Alberta's Rocky Mountains, spanning 11,000 square kilometres.

If looking at the stars brings a smile to your face, then this reserve is the place to be, as the Jasper Dark Sky Festival begins today. Attendees can expect a schedule filled with engaging activities, from expert-led workshops and keynote speeches to night sky photography sessions. The 16-day festival offers an educational experience where you and your friends can learn about constellations, planet spotting and the importance of dark sky conservation. So, join the Jasper Dark Sky Festival, where the stars are the luminous storytellers.
