Everyone is welcome, however, to make the event enjoyable for all, some restrictions will apply: the site is gated, which allows us to control access to only approved guests.

• On-site Registration & sales will run:

Sat Sept 20, 10:30 – 12:00, 13:00 – 14:30, 18:30 – 20:00

• Cover all of your white lights, e.g. flashlights, headlights, interior trailer lights, etc. with red cellophane or the equivalent; or leave them off.
•  Although the Star Party officially starts on Friday, for early arrivals, on Wednesday through Friday nights, vehicles will be allowed in (or out) until 23:00 (11:00 PM).
• On subsequent nights, there will be a black-out rule in effect after 21:00 (9:00 PM). Entry or exit shall be done with absolutely no white light – headlights and taillights MUST be covered and the vehicle shall be guided by a pedestrian with a red flashlight. When in doubt, walk!
• Noise (quiet times) – Please refrain from playing loud music, running power generators, or other noisy activities that can disturb attendees from one hour before sunset until 11:00 in the morning. Car alarms that create noise as well as initiate bright flashing lights are particularly disturbing – please be extra-cautious entering your vehicle during these hours, or leave your car alarm off.
• Absolutely no garbage is to be left at your campsite! Clean up after yourselves. Please put garbage in designated receptacles.
• Dogs are to be kept on a leash in and around the observing areas! Many telescope owners do not appreciate dogs ‘visiting’ their equipment.
• No swimming in the pond near the campground (due to leeches)

**Children are welcome at the Alberta Star Party but, parents will be responsible for their child’s conduct and safety at all times. Parents are encouraged to organize events for the children.

NOTE: There is an RV Waste Dump in Milo (see below for distance/location) to dispose of waste.

“Lazy Days and Starry Nights” is A Stone’s Throw RV Campground motto for guests. Enjoy your relaxing days and in the evening be prepared to sit back and take in the magnificent night sky. With minimal external light, the night sky opens up in ways many have never experienced. Be sure to bring your stargazing equipment, whether it be Binoculars or a Telescope. The night sky truly opens up for us here in the prairies.
