暑假過了大半，想不想讓今年的暑假過得更不一樣，讓孩子有個難忘的美好回憶？
不如帶上孩子遠離城市光害，到南加郊外健行，學習野生動物生態和保育，晚上看真正漆黑的夜空，在朗朗星空下欣賞音樂和聽故事、用天文望遠鏡觀察銀河系，最後，躺在毯子上伸展，一起欣賞英仙座流星雨，在流星飛過時許願，過一個難忘的夏夜！
英仙座流星雨每年在7月20日至8月20日前後出現，於8月13日達到高潮，它與象限儀座流星雨、雙子座流星雨並稱為年度三大流星雨。
A day of fun, education, wildlife, science, wonder, and dark sky appreciation for the whole family!
Free event — community sponsored!

Shuttles will be available to take guests to and from the afternoons and evening events at Jess Martin Park, with a break in-between to go to Julian for dinner or to pick up picnic supplies.
Go on a family-friendly hike along Santa Ysabel Creek. Tour the Wolf Center.
Then come to Jess Martin Park in the afternoon to meet barn owls, hawks, and others.
Hear presentations about the important preservationist work of the Wolf Center, Volcan Mountain Foundation, Julian Dark Sky Network, Wildlife Research Institute, Mountain Lion Project, and more, all going on right here in Julian!
Get into the fun games and live music. As twilight falls we’ll hear some night sky story telling until the Milky Way makes its incredible appearance in our naturally dark Julian Sky.
Take a closer look by peering through the telescopes of local amateur astronomers waiting to take you on a cosmic tour.
Lastly, stretch out on a blanket and take in the Perseid Meteor Shower, the best meteor shower of the year.
