  • Solar Rodeo In Downtown Mesquite

    North Texas is gearing up for a remarkable astronomical event on April 8, 2024, as Mesquite prepares to host a three-day celebration for the total solar eclipse. The festivities kick off on April 6 at Front Street Station with the Mesquite Rodeo Parade, the grand opening of the Downtown Mesquite Farmers Market, and a vibrant Music and Moonlight street dance. This preamble to the eclipse aims to engage attendees with a blend of local culture and anticipation for the celestial spectacle.

    The climax of the event, on April 8, directs visitors to Front Street Station for the Solar Rodeo, an eclipse viewing experience slated from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Mesquite's dedication to celebrating this rare occurrence is evident in their extensive programming, which also includes updates on downtown events and activities across the city. Highlights include a farmers market from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and an evening block party and street dance from 6 to 11 p.m., ensuring a festive atmosphere leading up to and surrounding the eclipse.
