The Texas Star Party is one of the largest and longest-running amateur astronomy gatherings in the United States, bringing together skywatchers, astrophotographers, telescope enthusiasts, and educators to enjoy exceptionally dark night skies and share their passion for observing the universe near Fort Davis, Texas, at the remote Prude Guest Ranch where the Milky Way and countless stars are visible with remarkable clarity. This year’s Texas Star Party is scheduled from May 10 to May 17, 2026, and promises a week of stargazing, presentations, workshops, and community under pristine West Texas skies for participants of all skill levels.
