PRESS RELEASE
For Immediate Release 
August 5, 2018. Lower Ship Harbour, Eastern Shore, HRM
THE DEANERY PROJECT’S 6th ANNUAL  SEALIGHT SKYLIGHT FESTIVAL - AUGUST 11th and 12th

Take in the SeaLight SkyLight Festival at one of the best night sky viewing locations on the Eastern Shore. The annual Festival takes place around the peak of the Perseid meteor shower, which coincides with an abundance of bioluminescence in Ship Harbour. The confluence of these two spectacular natural phenomena has enabled the Deanery to create a unique event to celebrate sea and sky, with science, art and story.

The program runs 7:30 -11:30 August 11th, and 2:30-11:30 August 12th. Night sky presentations and performances include: Shalan Joudry, Mi’kmaw  ecologist/storyteller; 
Dr. Stephen Payne (Planetarium, Dalhousie University) and Hope for Wildlife.

Musical performances by Anna Stewart, Jacques Mindreau, Jhamiela Smith Dunn, North Street Straw Band, Open Borders, Ostrea Lake, Super Fluid as well as visual artists Jupiter MVV and Stephanie Rybczyn play to ocean, sky and star themes.

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 are amoung the vendors offering food service at the event.
