The sixth annual SeaLight SkyLight Festival takes place around the peak of the Perseid meteor shower, which coincides with an abundance of ocean bioluminescence in Ship Harbour. Because of the confluence of these two spectacular natural phenomena the Deanery has created a special event to celebrate sea and sky, with science, art and story.

This is a family friendly, all ages (rain or shine) event. Folks are encouraged to bring a blanket and binoculars for better viewing pleasure. Laughing Crow Foods, Dobbit Bakehouse and Sober Island Brewing Co will be offering food service from 3-7 on Sunday only.

Progams will take place both indoors and outdoors, and in various locations around the property, including the main field and the waterfront.
