In partnership with the Mornington Peninsula Astronomical Society and the Latrobe Valley Astronomical Society, professional telescopes will be trained on Inverloch’s famously clear night skies. Planets, nebulae, star clusters and distant galaxies come into breathtaking focus under expert guidance.

For those wanting to go deeper, astronomy talks will be held at the Inverloch Bowls Club from 7:30pm prior to stargazing.

Designed for a general audience and rich with imagery, the presentation journeys from our solar system neighbours to the nearest stars, across the Milky Way and outward to galaxy clusters and the furthest observable objects in the universe. Along the way, it explores the astonishing scale and vastness of space.
Both the tours and stargazing experiences are ticketed events, offering rare opportunities to explore Inverloch by night. Because sometimes the most powerful festival moments happen after dark, when the sky feels infinite and the town feels quietly magical
