Free, kid friendly, and open to the public.

Come join the Back Bay Amateur Astronomers for a special boardwalk astronomy event where we celebrate May the 4th Be With You. Feel free to wear your best Star Wars attire and join us on the boardwalk to view the sky through our telescopes.

We'll have free items like stickers and NASA handouts plus t-shirts and solar eclipse glasses for sale.

Telescopes will be set up on the Virginia Beach Boardwalk near the 24th Street Stage to allow the public an opportunity to observe the night sky for free. Solar scopes will be used until sunset for safe views of the Sun and then guests will be able to observe the Moon and and any other night sky objects for the rest of the event.

*This event is weather dependent. If the weather doesn't cooperate we must cancel.
