Total Eclipse of the Park
April 7 @ 11:00 am - 4:00 pm CDT
$9.95
Lincoln State Park and the Friends of Lincoln State Park will host “Total Eclipse of the Park” on Sunday, April 7, 2024, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. central time as one of the anchor events of Spencer County’s offerings the weekend ahead of the more than two minutes of total darkness that will occur as part of the Monday, April 8, 2024, total solar eclipse.
“Total Eclipse of the Park” will feature food trucks, activities for children of all ages, and live music from at least three live bands throughout the day. The featured entertainment, Sonny & the Moons, is comprised of Nashville studio musicians that will perform a set of predominantly sun, moon, and eclipse-themed songs. From the obvious (“Total Eclipse of the Heart”, “Bark at the Moon”) to the relevant (“Ain’t no Sunshine”, “Walking on Sunshine”) to the fun (“Waiting on the Sun”) and so much more!
In addition to the food trucks, beer/wine service will be available for guests 21 and over.
