About Yuri's Night
Simultaneously held in over 30 countries and 91 locations worldwide, Yuri's Night World Space Parties celebrate humanity's first venture into space (by Russian Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin). The event serves as both a tribute to our global heritage of innovation in space exploration and a reminder of how much more is out there to be discovered. This will be the 7th annual Yuri's Night Party to take place in the United States, and the theme for 2007 is the Green-ification of space.
Yuri's Night Bay Area 2007 is a celebration of humanity with a focus on space, technology, art and performance. It is intended to be held in NASA Ames Hanger 211 (Moffet Field) on Friday April 13th. Our team of engineers, artists, scientists and event producers are coordinating a compelling evening of education, discovery and networking opportunities, which will be followed by a multimedia journey unlike anything produced in the Bay Area before. As we reach out to the world to spread passion for extraterrestrial exploration, we aim to not only celebrate and raise excitement but simultaneously to educate and increase awareness. Join us on Friday April 13th, 2007 in a dance of global unity, inspiration, joy and celebration!
