Step into a global celebration of space, unity, and human possibility as Yuri’s Night joins Kennedy Under the Stars to host the official East Coast flagship event. This year, the worldwide organization honors the first human in space and the launch of the first Space Shuttle, both with anniversaries on April 12. 

For one unforgettable night, the visitor complex transforms into an illuminated, after‑hours experience where space enthusiasts and explorers of all ages gather to experience the attractions after hours, meet astronauts, hear from special guests, and have some fun on the dance floor. 

Favorite Kennedy Under the Stars experiences return, such as: 

  • Live DJ entertainment and dance party in NASA Central 
  • Cosmic Glow Mini Golf in the Rocket Garden 
  • Live “street” entertainment  
  • Astronaut meet and greet (announced soon) 
  • After-hours access to many visitor complex attractions* 

Don’t forget! Space-themed costumes are encouraged, but no face coverings or weapons will be permitted (no costume contests).  

New with the addition of Yuri’s Night are favorite Yuri’s Night characters, and fireside chats with notable guests in the space industry. Listen to a sit-down, casual conversation as we touch on topics like launching into space, the influence space has on all our lives, and where the future of space exploration is headed. Two panel discussions will take place inside the IMAX theater, starting at 7:00 and 8:00 PM, with seating available on a first-come, first-served basis.
