Yuri’s Night is a global celebration of humanity’s past, present, and future in space. Yuri’s Night parties and events are held around the world every April in commemoration of April 12, 1961, the day of cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin’s first manned spaceflight, and April 12, 1981, the inaugural launch of NASA’s Space Shuttle.

 

As Yuri's Night Internet Strategist for the last 10 years, I have been responsible for developing the organizations on-line presence, helping us grow from a few dozen parties a year to several hundred parties a year.
