Sidewalk Astronomy

Join us for a night of delicious bites and celestial sights at The Bishop!

We have partnered with the Local Group of Deep Sky Observers (LGDSO) to bring Sidewalk Astronomy to The Bishop. At this FREE event, you’ll have a chance to see planets, moons, and maybe some deep-sky objects through powerful telescopes. We’ve also partnered with local food vendors FEWD Tent, Sol Sipsters Coffee, La Mucca Ballerina, and Edible Cookie Dough Cafe, so you can enjoy a bite while observing the universe. Drinks, including water, soda, wine, and beer, will be available for purchase.

In addition to telescopes and tacos, you’ll have a chance to see the Planetarium show, Messengers of Time and Space, at 6:30, 7:15, 8:15, and 9:15 for just $5 a person or free for members. Our Museum Store will be open until 8pm for any last-minute holiday shopping! See you under the stars for this special FREE event at The Bishop!

Please note: The main Museum and Parker Manatee Rehabilitation Habitat will be closed during this event. Service animals are the only animals allowed on site.
