Solar Eclipse Viewing Party April 8
It’s the cosmic event of the year! Come view the solar eclipse with the community at Sorauren Park on eclipse day, Monday, April 8 from 2 – 4 pm. (Reminder, it’s a PA day for schools.)
The Sorauren Stargazers and the Friends of Sorauren Park are hosting a viewing party on the Town Square. We’ll have a limited number of ISO-certified eclipse glasses, which must be worn to safely view the eclipse directly. Bring your own if you have them. Libraries may have supplies.
To celebrate, we’ll be serving fresh-baked Eclipse Cookies from the bake oven, and Sorauren Solar Mocktails, while supplies last. There’ll be kids’ kosmic kraft activities, and a fire pit for warming up. We’ll also have an eclipse projection stand to view the eclipse safely on a white board, and education displays.
Toronto is just outside the zone of total eclipse, but will experience a 99% partial eclipse as the moon slides slowly over the face of the sun in a grand orbital dance. April weather is iffy, so follow @SoraurenPark on Instagram, Facebook and X for updates, or visit this site. (If it’s cloudy but not raining, we’ll still party on.) Also sign up for the Sorauren Park newsletter for park news and events.
Big thanks to our sponsors Laneway Custom Build, Scooter Girl Toys, The Mercantile, Chander Chaddah, Sutton Group Associates and Phila Optical for supporting the activities. Clear skies!
PS: Remember to come to the RC Toy Car Derby on March 30 at the ball diamond!
