Good morning dark skies friends! What do you think of when you see a star-filled sky? How does it make you feel?

In 2001, Flagstaff became the world's first International Dark Sky City. 25 years later, the stars still shine down over downtown, and the sky still illuminates the whole city at night.

Flagstaff Dark Skies Coalition is celebrating the milestone with an event at Ardrey Auditorium on October 24th.

Come see the stars the way they're meant to be seen.
