Saturday, 03 Feb, 2024 0

Grapevine, Texas is the place to be for the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse.

Grapevine’s prime location within the path of totality will give visitors an unmatched view of this rare celestial event.

As the moon aligns with the sun, darkness will cover the city. Gather to view the historic event in Grapevine’s parks, the Historic Main Street District or Historic Nash Farm.

To add to the ambience, themed music will be playing throughout the Historic Main Street District allowing guests to get in the mood for this historic moment.

There will also be photo ops to have pictures taken with costumed galactic characters.

Many local businesses and eateries are also joining in the fun.

Several are offering galactic-themed food and drink. Some of those specials include:

Harvest Hall | Specialty Cocktail – Blackout Sour

VIP tickets also include a swag bag valued at $275 filled with exclusive eclipse souvenirs. Tickets available at grapevinetexasusa.com/eclipse.

Grapevine Vintage Railroad will offer two, one-hour excursions on the day of the eclipse. One begins at 9:50 a.m. and the other departs at 2:50 p.m.

For those looking to kick off the festivities early, head to Historic Nash Farm.
