I believe you’re in for a treat If you live or plan on being in the northern part of Vermont on April 8, 2024! Along with a handful of other states throughout the country, Vermonters will be able to witness a total solar eclipse on this day. During this three-minute, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you’ll experience nearly complete darkness as the moon blocks the sun. Read on to learn all you need to know about the 2024 Vermont solar eclipse.
The 2024 Vermont total solar eclipse is expected to last 3 minutes and 15 seconds.
In Vermont, a partial solar eclipse is anticipated to start in Burlington at 2:14 p.m. local time. The total eclipse will happen from 3:26-3:29 p.m. A partial eclipse will then continue until 4:37 p.m.
The next total solar eclipses visible in the U.S. won't occur until 2044 and 2045, but they'll only be partial eclipses here in Vermont. The next time Vermont will experience a total solar eclipse won't be until 2106, so you definitely don't want to miss this one!

As you can see from this map, the eclipse's Path of Totality (the grey stripe) spans from Mexico and extends into Canada.
Other parts of the country will only be able to see a partial eclipse - shown by the lines noting the percentage of coverage - but it's not nearly as dramatic as a total eclipse!
You can find them at many local shops in the Path of Totality, but if you want to prepare ahead, look for ISO-certified eclipse glasses when ordering online.
Since the full eclipse will only last a few minutes, you'll also want to make sure you're on time to your viewing destination so you don't miss a thing.
During the 2017 partial eclipse, Burlington was a popular destination to view this phenomenon. On April 8, 2024, Vermont's largest city will once again be an ideal spot to experience the total solar eclipse.
Aside from Waterfront Park (featured in the photo above), Oakledge Park and Battery Park are ideal vantage points for viewing too.
Along with other towns throughout Vermont, Stowe is gearing up for this memorable experience too. To learn more, take a look at the following YouTube video.
To get started on planning to view the 2024 solar eclipse in Vermont, I also suggest visiting Vrbo, Booking, and Tripadvisor to confirm your accommodations right away.
