Why Marfa, Texas?

Marfa’s position within a major Dark Sky region reveals a night sky that is genuinely awe-inspiring: speckled with stars, sharp with constellations, and unspoiled by the glow that overwhelms most cities. For visitors who care about responsible lighting, it becomes more than a beautiful view — it’s a visceral reminder of what’s at stake.

In Marfa, the interplay of nature, art, and darkness invites visitors to slow down, look closely, and reconsider how light shapes our world.
