‘LivCo Sol’ Shares Plans for 2024 Total Eclipse

Livingston County News

Livingston County Tourism is already preparing for the 2024 Solar Eclipse.

The total eclipse is set to take place on April 8, 2024, and many towns and villages in Livingston County and surrounding areas are going to be in the “path of totality,” meaning they will be in the area where the moon will completely block the sun.

The April 8, 2024, solar eclipse will darken the skies from Texas to Maine. The duration of totality will be up to 4 minutes and 27 seconds, almost double that of The Great American Eclipse of August 21, 2017, which was witnessed from Oregon to South Carolina.

For the 2024 eclipse, Caledonia will have the longest time in totality in Livingston County at 3 minutes, 33 seconds.

Livingston County Tourism has coined the phrase “LivCo Sol” in preparation for the eclipse, creating merchandise and even purchasing glasses for people and businesses to give out before the event.

Recently, Livingston County Tourism shared its plans with local businesses, community leaders and other local stakeholders. The gathering at Avon Park Theater also included representatives from Sweetwater, Tenn., who spoke of their experience hosting visitors for a 2017 eclipse.
