About

The Town of Truckee will announce the winners of its "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" photo contest at a community reception planned for July 26. The well-received night-time photography competition, which garnered an impressive 88 submissions, was launched earlier this year to encourage residents and visitors to limit light pollution and enjoy the natural beauty of the night sky.

The winning photographs, along with other notable entries, will be unveiled at a public reception on July 26 from 5 to 7 p.m. in the main hallways of the TDRPD Steve Randall Community Recreation Center on Truckee Way. The community is invited to attend this free event to celebrate these talented photographers, view their work and learn more about the importance of preserving our remarkable dark skies.

For those who cannot attend the opening reception, the exhibit will remain on display through Labor Day weekend.
