Tolar solar eclipse in a leap year? Leap days, as rare and whimsical as they may seem, actually play a critical role in our timekeeping; aligning our annual calendar with the seasons. Similarly, rare and awe-inspiring is the phenomena of the Total Solar Eclipse. And while Evansville, IN will have another leap year in 2028, there won’t be another Total Solar Eclipse here in our LIFETIME.
How to make the most of the
Total Solar Eclipse
1. Attend an event
Maximize your eclipse enjoyment by teaming up with fellow enthusiasts. Check out the Explore Evansville event calendar here and stay up to date on the latest events and plans for April 8th.
2. Invite friends and family
The brief three minutes and five seconds of totality during the 2024 total solar eclipse will feel like the shortest moment of your life. So why not spend it with loved ones? There’s no better time to gather together than a once-in-a-lifetime event.
3. Make a plan
The Evansville Region could see up to 80,000 visitors during eclipse weekend; so plan accordingly. Fill up your gas tank, stock up on essentials and limit unnecessary trips, if possible. Cell service could become overwhelmed; set a meeting place in case you are separated from your group.
