SUNY Brockport to Host Total Solar Eclipse Viewing Party

(WHAM) – SUNY Brockport is gearing up for a remarkable event in anticipation of the total solar eclipse this spring, set to occur on April 8. The university recently held a town hall outlining the planned activities for this rare celestial event, emphasizing its significance as it marks the first occurrence in the Rochester area in 99 years, with the next not expected for another 120 years. The campus is located along the eclipse’s center line, so SUNY Brockport is offering event passes to provide spectators with an additional five seconds of totality compared to other locations in the region. The festivities will include food trucks and live entertainment starting at 11 a.m., making it a memorable day for attendees. The Rochester area is preparing for a significant influx of up to 500,000 eclipse enthusiasts eager to witness this once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon.
