Perseid Meteor Shower Viewing Party! - Wednesday, August 13 (Cloudy Date 8/14), 9:00pm @ Blueberry Hill

Join IIT and the Island Stargazers at IIT’s Blueberry Hill Preserve to take in August’s annual light show - the Perseid Meteor Shower! The Perseid meteor shower occurs every Summer, in our northeast region of the country. It takes place from mid-late July to late August, but peaks mid August.

Come out Wednesday night (Thursday cloudy date) to enjoy one of the major meteor shower events of the year. Bring a blanket, binoculars and whatever late-night picnic you’d like and let’s take in the night sky together!

The annual Islesboro Community Center fundraising event — this year featuring the Rock Creek Singers, the 20-voice chamber ensemble of the Gay Men's Chorus of Washington D.C. known for dynamic a cappella performances of classical and pop choral pieces!

IIT’s Blueberry Hill is home to apple trees of all ages, shapes and sizes. Some are older than we know and likely the product of unintentional apple trees created from feeding livestock. Some are the first stages of IIT’s heritage apple orchard that we have been expanding on annually for the past three seasons.

On Saturday, August 23, join IIT with Dan Tutor to learn what you can do to tend, prune and protect your trees at all stages of life.
