About the Event

Join Great Lakes Science Center and its partners, NASA’s Glenn Research Center and The Cleveland Orchestra, from April 6–8 for the Total Eclipse Fest 2024, a three-day celestial celebration at North Coast Harbor in downtown Cleveland. This outdoor, family-friendly event will feature hands-on science activities, a free community concert performance by The Cleveland Orchestra on Sunday, April 7, food vendors, entertainment, and free eclipse viewing glasses (while supplies last). NASA experts will be on-site to engage with the public and share ways NASA studies the sun and uses that information to understand its impact on Earth and throughout our solar system, and NASA TV will be broadcasting live from the event Monday, April 8.

The Orchestra will perform an “Out of this World” concert program of galactic proportions featuring Mozart’s Fourth Movement from Symphony No. 41 (“Jupiter”), Missy Mazzoli’s Sinfonia (for Orbiting Spheres), Debussy’s Clair de lune from Suite Bergamasque (orchestrated by André Caplet) and Beethoven’s First Movement from Symphony No. 5.
