Explore the Kerry International Dark Sky Reserve

This year’s festival will take place in Dromid, Waterville, Caherdaniel, Castlecove and Valentia. These are just a few of the villages within and around the Kerry International Dark Sky Reserve. Explore the reserve and the best spots for stargazing in our storymap.

The Skellig Coast Dark Sky Festival is a not-for-profit event lead by a group of local volunteers who aim to celebrate the vibrant landscapes, skyscapes, heritage and communities of the Iveragh Peninsula in South Kerry. The festival is overseen by the Caherdaniel Dark Sky Group, which is part of the Coiste Pobail Cathair Dónall, a registered community development charity. The festival would not be possible without the kind support of our sponsors and partners. We are so grateful for this generosity and to everyone who buys a ticket or supports the festival in any way.
