The festival includes a series of individual events across the Shires that will offer live music performances, family-friendly activities, exceptional dining experiences, stargazing tours and photography lessons for budding astronomers.
The Dark Sky Festival also includes the inaugural Jamba Nyinayi Festival, a Baiyungu Aboriginal Corporation event hosted by Traditional Owner Hazel Walgar at Cardabia Station near Coral Bay on 19 April, the night before the eclipse.
Jamba Nyinayi will feature a drone show by Fremantle Biennale with storytelling from Traditional Owners as well as local and original Indigenous music, dance, food and fire.
