WHAT IS YURI'S NIGHT?
 

Yuri's Night is the World Space Party, an international celebration held every April 12 to commemorate milestones in space exploration. It is named after the first human to launch into space, Yuri Gagarin, who flew the Vostok 1 spaceship on April 12, 1961.

We hope to see you dream, explore, and celebrate with us at the hundreds of Yuri's Nights events held around the world each April.
