Global Recognition for Premier Amenity in Mayo

Mayo International Dark Sky Park at Wild Nephin National Park has been awarded the ‘Dark Sky Place of the Year Award 2024’ from DarkSky International, highlighting its commitment to preserving dark skies and addressing light pollution’s impact on biodiversity, health, and well-being. Officially designated as a Gold-tier International Dark Sky Park in 2016, its remote location provides one of the darkest skies in the world. The award recognizes the collaborative efforts of community groups and local authorities, exemplified by projects like the lighting redesign at St. Patrick’s Church, which reduced light pollution by 50%. The Mayo Dark Sky Festival continues to grow, drawing international visitors and fostering appreciation for dark skies through various educational and cultural initiatives. Plans for further collaboration include co-hosting the International Conference on Artificial Light at Night in 2025.
