Cities and towns along the path of totality are planning viewing events, science talks and plenty of celebratory offerings during the total solar eclipse Monday.From a mass wedding ceremony in Arkansas to a huge stadium event in Illinois, major preparations are underway all along the path of Monday's . Concerts, festivals and viewing parties will celebrate what for many will be a once-in-a-generation — if not a once-in-a-lifetime — celestial event.
Accommodations within the state parks in the path are fully booked, Farrell said: “The anticipation is definitely high.” Susan Edwards, who owns a rock shop in Paducah, Kentucky, started thinking a year and a half ago about plans for eclipse programming in her community of almost 27,000 residents. Since then, she has been working with the local leaders in Paducah, which has the distinction of also having been along the path of totality the last time a total solar eclipse crossed the U.S. in 2017.
Less than 100 miles away, Carbondale, Illinois, will experience one of the longest stretches of totality — 4 minutes and 9 seconds of darkness — because of its location close to the center of the path of totality.
