The first total solar eclipse to travel across the entire contiguous United States in 99 years happens Monday, August 21st, and that gives 360 CHICAGO a reason to celebrate. From 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. that day, celestial fans are invited to 360 CHICAGO Observation Deck for a special Solar Eclipse Dance Party. Guests will enjoy unencumbered views of the sky and city below while the moon passes in front of the sun, eclipse-viewing glasses, and an energetic vibe as Mode Events DJs entertain dancers with a “space-themed” playlist.
“Our lofty vantage point above the city will afford eclipse enthusiasts a celebration-worthy look at this rare astronomical event,” says Nichole Williamson, general manager of the popular attraction. “We pride ourselves on the unobstructed views 360 CHICAGO offers visitors and the inside observation deck will be dressed for the occasion to add to the fun,” she adds.
The eclipse will begin in Chicago at 11:52 a.m. with maximum eclipse at 1:19 p.m. and conclusion at 2:42 p.m. Toast the experience with featured beverages including Revolution Brewing Co.’s Sun Crusher Hoppy Wheat Ale, perfect for the solar eclipse and served on a cash basis at Architect’s Corner Café & Bar. Note: because the event happens on Monday, the only day of the week when tripods are allowed, expect lots of photographers to grab a prime spot early.
