The night sky has always inspired us, reminding us of the universe’s beauty, wonder, and vastness. Yet, for millions worldwide, the night and our view of the stars continue to fade as light pollution obscures this shared natural treasure and heritage.

International Dark Sky Week, April 21–28, 2025, is a global celebration and call to action to reconnect with the night, protect its natural beauty, and inspire change. Whether new to the mission or a longtime advocate, this is your chance to make a difference in your community and beyond. International Dark Sky Week 2025 IDSW website
