Get access to all of our Dark Sky Festivals and Meteor Shower Events at our Panamint Valley, CA and Sage Valley, NV locations for less than the price of purchasing the Early-Bird Tickets to the Dark Sky Festivals alone! This Dark Sky Festival Annual Pass is good for two people to any and all of these events offered.

We do two events every year which are always certain: The Great Orion Dark Sky Festival in March, and the California Dark Sky Festival in October. In addition to those, we also sometimes offer events for the Perseids Meteor Shower in August, as well as the Geminids Meteor Shower in December depending on the moon phases, day of the week that the peaks fall on, etc.

With the Dark Sky Festival Annual Pass, you’ll gain free admission to both Dark Sky Festivals along with any/both of those two meteor shower events (if offered that year) — all for less than the price of attending the Dark Sky Festivals alone!

The Dark Sky Festival Annual Pass is a subscription that is offered in November & December for the following year, and you can cancel anytime. If you purchase the 2027 pass, you’ll also be be admitted to the 2026 Geminds Meteor Shower Campout!

By purchasing this pass, you and everyone in your party agrees to our liability waiver which can be found by clicking here.
