The city sits squarely in the path of totality.

Nestled conveniently between Dallas and Fort Worth, Grapevine is primed to offer an unparalleled viewing experience for this historic event.

Astronomy enthusiasts, families and travelers are all invited to partake in viewing parties and other themed events.

There will be an exclusive VIP Solar Eclipse Watch Party in Grapevine’s Historic Main Street District. The VIP package includes: Access to Peace Plaza at Grapevine Main Station, a Grapevine, Texas 2024 Eclipse Swag Bag valued at $200, live music and entrainment and a $60 food and beverage voucher.
