GUILFORD-On Monday, Aug. 12, the Springs Farm in Guilford will host "Electric Perseids," an evening of stargazing and live music at the Springs Farm, 49 Carpenter Hill Rd. (In case of rain or clouds, they will try again on Tuesday, Aug.13).
The gathering starts at 8 p.m., with music at 9 p.m. Audience members are encouraged to bring snacks, blankets, flashlights, and chairs. This peak night of the 2024 Perseid Meteor Shower will be accompanied by the ambient music of Brattleboro's own Caldon Glover.
Glover is an electronic musician who creates slow industrial soundscapes with synthesizers and found sound. This will be their second time scoring a meteor shower.
The Perseids Meteor shower "is one of the most spectacular celestial events of the year," note organizers in a news release. See Everything You Need to Know Perseid Meteor Shower at bit.ly/776-perseid.
Suggested parking is at the lower farm field, the library, Broad Brook Community Center, and Playscape. Limited parking at the farm for those who need closer access is up the driveway. Suggested donation is $5–10 with all funds for the musician.
Hosted by Springs Farm and Guilford Free Library Astronomy Club. More information can be found at bit.ly/776-meteor.
