Houston, we have a party. Yuri's Night, an international celebration held on April 12 every year to commemorate the first human in space, Yuri Gagarin, will be coming to San Francisco. The event looks to educate people on space and space exploration in a fun way, complete with electronic and live music, performance art, and installation art to produce a night that anyone of any age can enjoy.

Starting in 2007, Space Generation teamed up with the NASA Ames Research Center for the first time, along with a team of amazing volunteers, to host the largest Yuri's Night celebration ever held in a massive hangar on Moffett Field in Mountain View, CA. Yuri's Night Bay Area taps into the San Francisco area's unique energy to bring together scientists, artists, technologists, musicians, and space enthusiasts in a fusion of celebration and education that is unlike anything else you've ever seen. In 2008 the event is growing to twice the size, bringing in more hot musicians, more brilliant scientists, more amazing artists, and the all-new Festival of Ideas.

Performance and dance will be done by Capacitor and the VonStilt family, and Aeronautika will be giving viewers 60 minutes of heart-pumping, high-energy aerial artistry with their fleet of planes. Music artists include Amon Tobin, Jon Tejada, Lusine, BLVD with Souleye, Telstar, Freezepop, Particle, and many more.

Regular tickets are $40, and tickets will cost $50 at the door if there are any left. Additional service fees may apply. Tickets will also go on sale in several stores around the Bay Area in late March. For more information, check out the Yuri's Night website.
