Jackson Touch A Truck

01/24/2024

Mark your calendar and get ready to see the total solar eclipse in Jackson!

The Cash-Book Journal Newspaper, Uptown Jackson Revitalization Organization, City of Jackson Community Outreach Board, Jackson Missouri Area Chamber Of Commerce, Jackson R-2 School District and Riverside Regional Library are working together to host a series of eclipse watch parties for April 8, 2024.

Watch parties will be held at the Jackson Civic Center, Brookside Park and on High Street in Uptown Jackson. All watch parties will be held from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will feature live music, food trucks and more! Visitors at all three events will be able to enter into a grand prize drawing.

Jackson will be along the direct path of totality for the total solar eclipse, with four minutes and 9.6 seconds of totality visible in the city – more than double the duration during the 2017 eclipse.

We are hard at work on making these events great for the Jackson community and all who visit during this historic eclipse. For more information or to get involved, email [email protected].
