SPICE UP THE HIGH ENERGY
The Rites of Spring Music Festival
A slice of King’s Cake on the shores of the East End!
Real East End Brass (REEB!) brings the Big Easy to the Rites of Spring Festival. As we march along to Second Line sounds, we invite you to join our parade and sing along to those New Orleans classics.
Following the concert when the skies are dark, Observatory staff will provide guided tours of the night sky (weather permitting) through our many telescopes on site, including the apochromatic Zerochromat telescope in our historic observation dome.
