START TIME: NOON UNTIL INTO THE EVENING 


International Astronomy Day May 3rd 2025
 is a celestial celebration that invites people of all ages to explore and appreciate the wonders of the universe.  It is a day dedicated to promoting the study of astronomy and inspiring people to look up at the night sky with wonder. It encourages individuals to explore the science of astronomy, learn about celestial objects, and appreciate the beauty of the cosmos. Astronomy clubs, observatories, planetariums, and science centers often host special events and activities to engage the public and ignite their interest in space and the universe.
We at the North Bay Astronomy Club are offering our services and knowledge to the patrons of the City by hosting a free public event at the Waterfront. This will be one of our events slated to help celebrate the City's 100th anniversary. 
We have invited other organisations and groups to participate along with us for this event.
