WHAT IS YURI'S NIGHT?
Yuri’s Night is a non-profit organization using the excitement and inspiration of space as a catalyst for educating and developing the next generation of explorers. They organize events, host projects, and encourage exploring new ideas.
You may know Yuri’s Night best for their namesake annual event in April: Yuri’s Night, The World Space Party! They combine space-themed partying with education and outreach. Every year on or around April 12th they celebrate all that humanity brings with us as we explore the cosmos: music, art, science, culture, and each other! They use space to bring the world together, to empower the greatest parts of who we are, and give vision to where we are going.
Yuri’s Night parties are held around the world every April in commemoration of Yuri Gagarin becoming the first human to venture into space on April 12, 1961, and the inaugural launch of the first Space Shuttle on April 12, 1981.
