On April 8th, the moon will take a bite out of the sun, creating a partial solar eclipse visible across Memphis. While we won’t experience totality (when the sun is completely covered), Memphis has 97% coverage and some fantastic spots to witness this astronomical event.
Enjoy sky high views of the Solar Eclipse accompanied by eclipse-inspired entertainment while DJ A.D. brings her celestial beats to the famous Peabody Rooftop.
$20 for adults, $10 for children ages 5 – 12. Hotel guests will have free admission – Up to two registered guests per room – with a room key. Tickets will be sold at the door.
The best place to see the solar eclipse in Memphis will be from the Memphis riverfront, with its unobstructed view to the west.
Bring your lunch – or grab a hot dog at the new Hi Neighbor Café at Tom Lee Park – and come to the Memphis riverfront.
Free solar eclipse glasses will be available to the first 100 visitors at the Hanover Family Welcome Center at Tom Lee Park starting at noon April 8.
