Brianna Soukup—Portland Press Herald/Getty Images by [Melissa Locker](https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/) and [Chris Wilson](https://time.com/author/chris-wilson/) Apr 6, 2024 10:20 AM UTC Northern Vermont should be prime for eclipse viewing, if the[ weather allows](https://twitter.com/NWSBurlington/status/1755688152076046563?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1755688152076046563%7Ctwgr%5E35ab3f1e41ef18d182ae3810568902b11c189b38%7Ctwcon%5Es1%5F&ref%5Furl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.burlingtonfreepress.com%2Fstory%2Fnews%2Flocal%2Fvermont%2F2024%2F03%2F28%2Fchances-of-vermont-eclipse-2024-viewing-obscured-by-clouds-clear-skies-april-8%2F73127363007%2F). Those who want to maximize their eclipse experience should head up north to Taylor Park in St. Albans, Vt. The town near the Canadian border boasts the "[longest viewing experience](https://downtownsaintalbans.com/event/st-albans-longest-eclipse-viewing-vermont/)" in Vermont with a whopping 3 minutes and 38 seconds in the path of totality, starting at 3:26 p.m. Whether or not the clouds part at the time of the eclipse, the [ECHO Leahy Center for Lake Champlain](https://www.echovermont.org/) will be offering eclipse-themed programs with the [Vermont Astronomical Society](https://vtastro.org/) on hand to help answer all eclipse-related questions. The [University of Vermont](https://www.uvm.edu/spacegrant/2024-total-solar-eclipse) also has planned a day of learning about eclipses, as well as an eclipse scavenger hunt, and, naturally, the[ Fairbanks Planetarium](https://fairbanksmuseum.org/solar-eclipse/) has a lot happening to mark the celestial event. Barr Hill, a [James Beard Award-nominated](https://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/story/life/food/2024/01/24/burlington-honey-road-paradiso-montpelier-barr-hill-james-beard-semifinalists-vermont/72338832007/) distillery, is throwing an [eclipse party](https://www.barrhill.com/pages/events) complete with tarot card readings to leverage the supposedly[ mystical powers](https://time.com/6963188/solar-eclipse-astrology-2024/) of the astrological event. Watch the fun from Lake Champlain aboard the[ Spirit of the Ethan Allen](https://soea.com/) cruise, or head to the [Shelburne Museum](https://shelburnemuseum.org/visit/solar-eclipse/), which will leave its doors open during its eclipse viewing party for folks to contemplate art and the skies simultaneously. Even Burlington’s airport is getting in on the fun, [hosting an eclipse](https://www.btv.aero/about-btv/airport-news/transcend) viewing party featuring food, mini-golf, and music (presumably guests are allowed more than three ounces of liquids). Plan to see kids out and about and enjoying the fun, as [many schools](https://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/story/news/local/vermont/2024/03/15/northern-vermont-schools-closing-april-8-solar-eclipse/72971984007/) in the Green Mountain State will be closed for the eclipse in a reverse snow day. _Note: The times in this simulation might differ from other sources of eclipse data by a minute or two. The discrepancy is most likely a small difference in the precise location of the calculation or a slightly different way of accounting for the time it takes the speed of light to travel from the sun to the Earth._ [_Read more about our interactive here_](https://time.com/6963248/total-solar-eclipse-map-places-view-2024/)_._ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/6962979/what-time-is-the-solar-eclipse-burlington-vermont/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/6962979/what-time-is-the-solar-eclipse-burlington-vermont/"},"headline":"When to Watch the Solar Eclipse in Burlington, VT","datePublished":"2024-04-06T10:20:00.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-31T12:52:20.977Z","description":"A total solar eclipse is crossing the U.S. on April 8, 2024.
