We believe the best ideas come when you look up. Our mission at The Moonridge Room has always been to keep dreaming — to look to the skies and imagine. Come into The Moonridge Room from November 6 - 9, and let's talk about Big Bear of the future! A place that protects its dark skies, celebrates curiosity, and gathers people who believe in a brighter, stranger, more connected Big Bear.
So come in, grab a Saucer, and tell us your stories....
**Have you ever seen something you couldn’t explain?
**What does a future Big Bear look like to you?
**How can Moonridge lead the way?
Let’s talk under the same sky — the one full of stars, mystery, and possibility.
