Huntington County - Northeast Indiana's Gateway to the April 8, 2024 Solar Eclipse
Make plans now to join us here in Huntington County for the April 8, 2024 eclipse. We are located in Northeast Indiana just southwest of Fort Wayne/Allen County right on the edge of the path of totality and conveniently located near major roadways including I-69, US 24 for an easy-in, easy-out viewing experience. The state is expecting major delays across central Indiana immediately following the eclipse so avoid the congestion and celebrate here with us.

Hotels and accommodations are expected to book up across the state well in advance of the eclipse. Make sure you book yours early!
