Hatteras Island Village

Starry Nights, a celebration of stargazing on one of the darkest stretches of the East Coast, is returning to Hatteras village after a four-year hiatus on Saturday, February 3, 2024. The afternoon and evening event, (which will be held at multiple spots along southern Hatteras Island), is sponsored by the Hatteras Village Civic Association and is free to the island community. With special visiting hosts from the Morehead Planetarium and Science Center from UNC-Chapel Hill, attendees can expect plenty of fascinating and fun activities, including a mobile planetarium theater, guided skywatching, and additional activities for children to explore the stars in their own sandy backyard.
