Beekmantown, New York 3/12/2024
The Town of Beekmantown invites you to experience the solar eclipse at the Beekmantown Town Hall and Recreation facilities located at 571 Spellman Road, West Chazy, NY, 12992, on Monday, April 8, 2024. View this once-in-a-lifetime event from our spacious fields with lots of parking. Starting at approximately 2:00 PM, a partial eclipse will begin with total darkness happening around 3:00 PM and then back through another partial eclipse ending around 4:00 PM. We are located directly in the path of this celestial phenomenon. In preparation for this cycle, viewing glasses will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis starting at 1:30 PM. Quantities are limited. Please be reminded to view the eclipse safely using only ISO-certified glasses to protect your eyes. Ultimately all those viewing the eclipse do so at their own risk.
