Silver Screen and Starry Skies: Apollo 13
Experience an unforgettable evening under the stars at the Silver Screen and Starry Skies event featuring the classic film Apollo 13. Hosted at the West Point Environmental Education Pavilion in Durham on April 24, 2026, this community gathering invites you to celebrate the resilience and teamwork depicted in the iconic 1970 lunar mission story. The festivities begin at 8:00 p.m. with engaging activities from local partners, followed by the movie screening once the sun sets at 9:00 p.m.
