“For my part, I know nothing with any certainty but the sight of the stars makes me dream” – Vincent Van Gogh
There aren’t many sights as beautiful or inspiring as a starry night sky! Especially in a place removed from intruding city lights like a County Park. If that sounds good to you, you’re in luck! San Diego County Parks has three nightime events coming up, starting this weekend. All are free to all ages.
