meteor shower
The Perseids are one of the most plentiful meteor showers with about 50 to 100 meteors seen per hour. Grab a folding chair or a blanket and join us in Wainwright to learn about star identification, hear some constellation stories, and- of course- see some shooting stars!

August 12th, 2024:
7:45pm- sunset, arrive and set up
8:15-9:15pm (roughly)- constellation stories and guided night sky viewing
9:15-10:00pm- people are free to watch the meteor shower

Here's what we recommend you bring:
a blanket or a chair to sit on
a headlamp or flashlight (these will need to be off during the program but are great for before and after)
binoculars or telescopes, if you have them and want to set up

No registration required, but children must be accompanied by an adult. 


Rain date is scheduled for Tuesday, August 13th. Updates will be posted on our South Portland Parks and Rec. Facebook page.
