SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) -- Calling all Star Wars and space fans! The Sky Deck at Del Mar Highlands Town Center is offering weekly space-themed events, food and goods throughout the month of May.
On Wednesday, the Sky Deck Space Odyssey kicked off just in time for National Space Day and Far Away Galaxy Day on Friday and Saturday, respectively.
