Get excited about April 8th!
Are you sensing the Indiana eclipse excitement surging? Cities around the state are planning eclipse-watching parties, festivals, and other activities to celebrate.
I always love a celebratory gathering, so what better reason than a celestial show?
Seeing the sky go dark for up to three minutes will be spectacular. I won’t travel away from my Northwest Indiana place since we will have a 95% totality. However, my relatives in Bloomington, which has been called the best place to watch this year’s eclipse, will have a 100% eclipse to enjoy.
Another fun spot to watch the eclipse is Lebanon, Indiana, at their “Get Mooned in Boone” fest.
When can I see the eclipse excitement in my Indiana city on April 8?
