Dark Star Park Day
Tue, Aug 1 | 1566 N. Fort Myer Dr | Rosslyn
Don't miss the Rosslyn favorite tradition that only comes around once a year! Every August 1 at precisely 9:32 a.m., shadows created by the poles at Dark Star Park align with shadow patterns on the ground. Gather on-site, or check out our livestream on Facebook Live beginning at 9:15 a.m.
Arlington's first major commissioned art project, land art pioneer Nancy Holt’s Dark Star Park (1984), features large spheres designed to resemble fallen, extinguished stars. Each year on the day that William Henry Ross acquired the land that became Rosslyn in 1860, the actual shadows align with the shadow-images on the ground. Learn more from Arlington Arts. Check out this video Dark Star Park Day in 2019! More
