We want to thank you for your participation in the first Missouri DarkSky Festival in the Ozark National Scenic Riverway at Big Spring, Mo.! We hope you had as much fun attending it, as we had planning, organizing, and executing it! A BIG shout out to the NPS and to the folks at ONSR – what a pleasure it was to seamlessly work with them and benefit from their expertise, experience, and good humor!

We plan to announce the date of our 2026 DarkSky Festival within the next few weeks. Please visit our website to learn about our plans or signup on our DarkSky Missouri Festival mailing list.

We are in the process of compiling photos from the festival. If you would like us to post some of your images (with appropriate credit), please send us your images here: photos@darkskymissouri.org

In the meantime, here are links to photo's we have received:
