Oberlin Community Calendar


Moon Without Shine
Registration Deadline: April 5, end of day.

Mark your calendars and dust off your celestial gaze, because Oberlin is in for a once-in-a-lifetime experience! On Monday, April 8th, the 2024 Solar Eclipse will fill the sky in mesmerizing darkness, and the Oberlin Heritage Center is throwing a party to celebrate this truly out-of-this-world occasion!

Get ready for:
Prime eclipse viewing: Join OHC's festivities at Mill on Main (95 S. Main Street) starting at 1:00 PM, where you can come and go to witness the eclipse peak around 3:15 PM. Don't worry about Ohio's fickle weather – the party continues indoors with livestreams from sunnier locations!
Celestial-themed fun: Dive into a mocktail social, munch on stellar snacks, and mingle with fellow eclipse enthusiasts under the cosmic glow (or lack thereof). And as a special souvenir, each registrant will receive a one-of-a-kind art print to commemorate the day which will be used as your pass in and out of the party that day.

The details:
Cost: $25
Location: Mill on Main, 95 S. Main Street
Time: 1:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Eclipse glasses: Free pair with registration, extras now available at the OHC store for $2.50 each.

RV Parking: Know someone traveling for the ultimate eclipse experience? Have them contact OHC's director at director@oberlinheritage.org about a downtown RV parking option for the weekend!

Don't miss this chance to experience the awe-inspiring eclipse in the heart of Oberlin, surrounded by good vibes and cosmic cheer. Secure your spot at the OHC's Moon Without Shine party today and make April 8 a day you'll never forget!
