One of the most underrated things to do in Big Bear? Looking up ✨
Big Bear’s night skies are something you just can’t get in the city—and thanks to the Care For Big Bear initiative to protect our dark skies, Dark Sky Week is the perfect time to experience it. Pair it with cozy Big Bear cabin rentals and you’ve got the kind of reset that actually sticks.
Here’s what’s happening this week:
✨ Free Sidewalk Astronomy in The Village
✨ Lyrid Meteor Shower peak
✨ Big Bear Solar Observatory tours (by reservation)
✨ Monthly Astronomy Society events (open to the public)
This is one of those things to do in Big Bear that feels simple, but unforgettable. Start planning your night sky moment: https://www.destinationbigbear.com/things-to-do-in-big-bear.aspx?p=skyfest&affid=6
