Alibates Star Party
Alibates Flint Quarries National Monument will be hosting our first public event of the year, the “Alibates Star Party.” This event is scheduled for Saturday, October 18, 2025.
The remoteness of Alibates Flint Quarries National Monument provides one of the best viewing locations of the night sky in the Texas Panhandle. The program will begin with a presentation outside at the Alibates Visitor Center. Professor Arthur Schneider, Professor Emeritus at Amarillo College, will provide a presentation on the Panhandle night sky and stars. Multiple telescopes will be set up, which will allow participants to observe star clusters, planets, and galaxies. Professor Schneider will guide visitors in observing the night sky.
Participants should bring their own lawn chairs and insect repellent. Activities are free and open to the public. In case of inclement or cloudy weather, the event will be cancelled. For additional information, please call at 806-857-6680 to sign up for the Star Party.
