SpaceFest 2026

Spacefest Continues is an event taking place from 23–26 July 2026 at Starr Pass Resort in Tucson, Arizona. It carries forward the legacy of Spacefest, founded by Kim Poor and continued by his family after his untimely passing in 2017.

This event will include as many of the classic Spacefest elements as possible — including space talks, book signings, art exhibits, vendor displays, and possibly field trips.

We encourage attendees to view this primarily as an opportunity to reconnect with old friends from Spacefests past and to proudly fly your space geek flag for a few days. While we will include many familiar “flavors of Spacefest,” this will not be on the same scale as the original Spacefests I–XI. (We wish we could, but we can’t!).

• Tickets & Pricing (Click on the Tickets box upper right corner or here!)
  Price: $250 per person (only for the early birds through May 31, after that the regular rate will be $325)

• Includes: Admission to the Friday and Saturday events (talks, art show, vendors, and signings)
