Yuri’s Night celebrates humanity’s journey to the stars and the boundless potential of human ingenuity. This year, we honor the Apollo-Soyuz mission, the first international manned spaceflight and a profound symbol of collaboration during a time of geopolitical tension. The 1975 mission united American astronauts and Soviet cosmonauts, demonstrating that even amidst earthly rivalries, humanity could find common ground in the pursuit of knowledge and exploration. With the theme, “A Legacy of Human Connection,” we reflect on how this historic milestone inspires a global sense of unity and shared purpose.

This is about more than an event; it’s a movement celebrating what humanity has accomplished and envisioning what we can achieve together in the future. Through music, art, science, and storytelling, we honor the indomitable human spirit that propels us beyond our differences and into the stars. Join us in embracing the legacy of the Apollo-Soyuz mission and fostering connection, understanding, and hope—both on Earth and beyond.

Join us for an unforgettable celebration as we come together to honor the past, inspire the future, and share in the joy of human connection.
