With Mayor Gina-Louise Sciarra, Marge Bruchac, James Lowenthal

As night falls, join us for a gathering on the grounds of Historic Northampton to celebrate International Dark Sky Week. We will also take a short stroll—in darkness—through nearby Bridge Street Cemetery to experience the sights, sounds, smells, and feelings of the dark night-time environment.
 
Special guests include:

• Mayor Gina-Louise Sciarra, who will read the City’s proclamation recognizing April 2-8, 2024 as International Dark Sky Week
• Abenaki poet and anthropologist Marge Bruchac, who will read selections from her poetry; and
• James Lowenthal, coordinator of Northampton City Lights and an astronomer at Smith College.

Coordinated by Northampton City Lights in partnership with Historic Northampton.
