Where to Watch the Solar Eclipse in Central Arkansas

Houston, we have awesome.

By now, you know that the continental U.S. is set to experience a total solar eclipse on Monday, Aug. 21. The once-in-a-lifetime sight is not one to miss, so if you’re looking to witness it with your fellow awestruck folks, you’re in luck.

There are lots of watch parties going on around central Arkansas. Many provide the proper glasses to safely view the eclipse, but we suggest checking with organizers first to make sure.
