Season of Light

The John Deere Planetarium at Augustana College will be presenting its annual holiday program on December 10th through 16th, 2022. The planetarium show will be offered Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m. and weekday evenings at 7 p.m. Admission is free, but reservations are required and the program is not recommended for children ages seven and under. The John Deere Planetarium is located at 820 38th Street, Rock Island.

Our holiday show, Season of Light, created by Loch Ness Productions, uses images, video, animation and sound to tell the story of how our holiday traditions are connected to the sky above. December is the darkest month of the year and people all over the world have held festivals, lit candles and tried to bring light to the darkness of the winter sky. Season of Light also explains the seasons, the winter constellations and speculates about the Star of Bethlehem.

Sat. and Sun. at 2 pm
