Star Parties are the public outreach events of the society. Club members volunteer their time and telescopes to educate the public about the night sky.

Star parties are also excellent opportunities for those new to astronomy as they give the beginner a chance to use different kinds of equipment or ask experienced club members for assistance with their own equipment.

Free monthly public star parties are held at the Tandy Hills Natural Area hosted by members of FWAS. The parties begin at dusk, weather permitting, and last until approximately 10:00 pm.

Please check the Tandy Hills Natural Area web site for details as dates and times may change.
