Eclipse Planning in Arkansas
On April 8, 2024, nearly 2/3 of Arkansas will be within the path of totality for the Total Solar Eclipse, the only event in the 21st century where totality is visible in Mexico, the United States of America and Canada. This event will bring thousands of visitors to The Natural State to experience the phenomenon.
Whether your community will experience full darkness or partial, it’s an amazing opportunity for tourism across The Natural State.
Groups and organizations across Arkansas will be planning events focusing on this historic astronomical occurrence. Economic impact from the 2017 eclipse was massive but Arkansas is in a position to exceed those numbers, since The Natural State is centrally located and our “darkness” time will be nearly twice that of the 2017 event.
Arkansas Tourism wants to work with organizations and communities throughout the state to make the Total Solar Eclipse of 2024 a major event!
