Kennedy Under the Stars returns for two nights just in time to kick off Holidays in Space. Join us on Friday, December 19 or Saturday, December 20 for a festive, after-hours experience at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. Enjoy live entertainment, a holiday dance party, festive décor, and a brand-new holiday drone show that lights up the night sky. Do not miss this return of this favorite event, this time with a holiday twist. 

Exclusive for the season is a first look at the Holidays in Space drone show, brand new to the visitor complex this year. The show lights up the night sky and takes you on a journey beyond our orbit and through NASA’s greatest programs, from Apollo and Shuttle to Artemis.
