Be part of the official opening of Carterton Space Week and help us launch a week celebrating space, astronomy and our remarkable dark skies.
Join fellow space enthusiasts, local organisations and special guests for a relaxed evening of stories, conversation and inspiration as we welcome another exciting Carterton Space Week. As the Sun sets and the first stars appear, discover what’s happening throughout the festival, meet the people behind the events, and celebrate Wairarapa’s place beneath some of New Zealand’s darkest skies.
Whether you’re a lifelong astronomy enthusiast or simply curious about the universe, everyone is welcome to start the week with us.
