In-person events have returned back to normal levels, but virtual events may be here to stay, since we have discovered how useful they can be. Therefore, this Events calendar will maintain its reorganization into 3 tables. The first table is of in-person events. For any live events, be sure to practice social distancing and maybe have masks handy, if needed. The second table is of virtual events that have not yet happened, as of the time of their posting here. The third table is of past virtual events for which recordings are available.

If you notice any serious errors or want to suggest additions, please email me at province-lake-water@cox.net .

Fri.-Sat. Nov. 11-12, 2022 The Third Virtual Global Conference of The International Dark-Sky Association (IDA). Learn about how overlighting is an enviromental and cultural threat. Appreciate what a gift it is to have such dark skies around Province Lake and to be able to see the Milky Way whenever the weather cooperates. Learn about what you can do to minimize your own contributions to light pollution, which diminishes the experience of Province Lake by your neighbors nearby and even across the lake. (This photo is from a distance of 1/3 mile and the situation has not improved in the many years since the photo was taken. Someone can claim to be a friend of the environment, but actions speak louder than words.)
