Meteors and S'mores

Spend an evening stargazing at Holland State Park during the Perseid meteor shower. The park staff will prepare s'mores for everyone to enjoy, while volunteers from Shoreline amateur astronomers set up telescopes and binoculars so you can get a closer look at the night sky. It's a relaxed, family-friendly way to experience one of the year's most reliable meteor showers, weather permitting. This is a great outing for families who want to introduce kids to astronomy without needing their own equipment. You'll have access to professional-grade scopes and binoculars, plus the treat of homemade s'mores under the stars. Just come prepared for an outdoor evening—bring blankets or chairs, dress warmly since nights can cool down, and check the forecast beforehand. Clear skies make for the best viewing, so conditions may affect the experience.
