Here you'll find some eclipse tours, community festivals, and other travel opportunities for the August 21, 2017, solar eclipse across America. (Unless otherwise noted, all listed tours and events occur on or about that date.) Most of the companies whose package tours are listed below are ones with which various members of the AAS Solar Eclipse Task Force have had prior (and positive!) experience. Our list of communities in the path of totality includes cities and towns making a special effort to accommodate visitors for the eclipse. Note added July 19, 2017: The number of planned events and activities is skyrocketing as the eclipse approaches. We are no longer adding listings to this page. See our Events & Activities map instead. Other maps worth checking: STAR_Net Libraries & NASA Event Locations.
