Perseid Meteor Shower – Park After Dark

Time: 9:00pm – 11:00pm
Location: Frisco Historic Park

In 2023, local DarkSky advocates reached out to Town staff to encourage Frisco to consider pursuing an International Dark Sky Communities certification through DarkSky International. In March 2024, Frisco Town Council gave staff direction to begin the process of pursuing the application. In August 2024, the Town received written confirmation of eligibility to continue in the International DarkSky Community application process.

The International Dark Sky Places Program focuses on protecting dark skies and the nighttime environment and is rooted in local advocacy. Those looking to get certified must meet a rigorous set of guidelines, whose actions and stewardship improve the night sky and environment. The Town of Frisco is pursuing the International Dark Sky Communities certification, which is available to towns, cities, municipalities, or any other organized communities. These communities must show dedication to preserving the night sky through the implementation and enforcement of light policies, education programs, and support from community members.
