City Market is not only a great space to view the total eclipse but also to celebrate it! We’re putting the party in watch party with a full schedule of FREE nighttime entertainment in the middle of the day including a live tribute to PINK FLOYD’S DARK SIDE OF THE MOON. The last time Kansas City saw a total solar eclipse was 1806, and the next time will be 2205.

On August 21, everyone at City Market will be in the path of totality to witness this extraordinary and rare phenomenon. The eclipse begins just after 11:30 a.m. and will move into total eclipse at 1:08 p.m. City Market is showcasing the entire span of the eclipse with FUN, FREE, FANTASTIC performances and educational activities while we wait watch and experience this incredible event as a community.

WDAF FOX4 Meteorologist Joe Lauria will serve as Master of Ceremonies along with eclipse experts, Science City’s Patrick Hess and retired geophysicist Laura Tyson.
