Marfa is part of a Dark Sky Area, meaning on a clear night, you can see an incredible view of stars, planets, and the Milky Way. But one unique thing you can see in the Marfa night sky is a mysterious phenomenon known as the Marfa Lights. They have been observed by many various groups inhabiting the area for centuries, but an explanation is yet to be known. Come see the mystery for yourself!
Prada Marfa is a fake Prada store built by artists Elmgreen and Dragset in 2005. It is a pop architectural land art project that criticizes consumerism and luxury branding, but also attracts vandalism and media attention. It makes for a great photo if you stop off the highway on your way into town!
Another great spot for roadside pics! Giant billboards from the movie "Giant," starring Liz Taylor and James Dean, filmed in Marfa!
