Looking for the best solar eclipse party ideas? You’ve come to the right place for solar eclipse party ideas, food and drink ideas for your menu and more!
A total solar eclipse occurs when the disk of the moon appears to completely cover the disk of the sun in the sky. In Nashville, we are right in the path of the eclipse. All our hotels have been sold out for months. The city is READY. We’re not the only ones gearing up for a big Solar Eclipse Day on Monday, however, so I wanted to share a few party ideas should you want to celebrate this once-in-a-lifetime cosmic event!
