Celestial Picnic
April 8 @ 11:30 am - 2:00 pm
Four Seasons Hotel Austin invites guests and locals to experience, beyond a shadow of a doubt (and under the shadow of the moon), one of the rarest events – the 2024 Great American Total Solar Eclipse – with a “Celestial Celebration” picnic on April 8, 2024. Nature unveils one of its most awe-inspiring displays when the Moon completely covers the Sun, casting a shadow on Earth and turning day into night for a few precious moments.
Event highlights include:
-Gourmet spring BBQ picnic presented by award-winning Four Seasons Hotel Austin culinary team
-Family-friendly activities including interactive photobooth, tarot card readings, kid’s entertainment and more
-Live music performance to accompany the solar keynote
-Expert commentary and interactive astronomy education by astrophysicist Ryan Hennessy
-State-of-the-art Lunt Hydrogen-Alpha Solar Telescope available for a breathtaking peek at the Sun’s chromosphere including glimpses of sunspots, prominences, and solar flares
-Commemorative items such as custom solar-viewing safety glasses
