Previous Events

From long time club member, Larry Davis:

I started taking pictures in 1976 when I borrowed a long lens and took eight slides at an Elvis concert. After that, landscapes were my primary focus. In 2006, I finally went digital and started taking pics of wildlife. Now, that is my focus. All of my photographs are from wildlife in their natural place– None were taken of any animal if they are fenced in or their movement was restricted in any way. A wide variety of species will be shown, from all over the country.

The 2026 Arkansas Dark-Sky Festival will be two days & two nights alongside picturesque Bear Creek, just off Highway 65 south of the Buffalo River, an International Dark-Sky Park. During the day, there will be presentations, hikes, and other activities for adults and children. Each night, we will rediscover the night sky as our ancestors knew it, complete with guided constellation tours and telescopic views of celestial objects under the Summer Milky Way. On this page, you will find information on activities, participating organizations, places to stay and eat, event guides, and registration links. You might view videos of past festivals here.
