Great American Solar Eclipse Events Near Northwest Arkansas

Make plans for the Apr 8 solar eclipse in NWA

Somewhere between 84,000 to 337,000 visitors are expected to visit Arkansas on Apr 8, 2024, to catch a glimpse of the Great American Solar Eclipse.

The eclipse’s path of totality will cut straight through the Natural State, and while Northwest Arkansas is slightly outside that path, the top left corner of the state will still witness between 95% and 99% range of totality.

Arkansas’s last total solar eclipse happened over a century ago on Jun 8, 1918, and the Natural State won’t see another until Aug 12, 2045.

We’ll do our best to keep a running list of some fun events and watch parties happening around Northwest Arkansas here!
