Talk about being in the right place at the right time! Join us on Monday April 8 for an eclipse viewing party at Grass Creek Park.
On April 8, 2024, Kingston will experience its first total solar eclipse in nearly 700 years. For a few minutes in the afternoon, we will be in the path of totality, which means the Moon will be perfectly aligned between the Earth and the Sun, blocking out the Sun’s rays entirely. Kingston won’t be in the path of totality again until the year 2399, so we won’t let this once-in-a-lifetime celestial event pass us by!
The total solar eclipse will begin in Kingston at about 2:09 p.m. and will reach the path of totality (maximum coverage by the Moon) at 3:23 p.m. The full cycle of the eclipse will conclude at 4:35 p.m.
Join us at Lake Ontario Park from 1-5 p.m. to get together and celebrate this once-in-a-lifetime occasion!
