Eclipse Watch Party at EpicCentral

The 2024 eclipse promises to be even more spectacular than the historic 2017 eclipse, crossing over or coming close to more major cities and with a maximum duration of totality that’s almost two minutes longer! Grand Prairie will be in totality at approximately 1:42 p.m. CDT. With 3 minutes and 35 seconds of totality, EpicCentral is the place to be to witness this once-in-a-lifetime experience! Enjoy live music, hands-on activities & more while you wait for the total solar eclipse to happen!

Before Monday’s eclipse watching at EpicCentral, Grand Prairie also has got weekend full of events lined across town. Details can be found here: https://www.visitgrandprairietx.com/solareclipse2024
