Imagination Station Solar Eclipse Viewing Party
2024-04-08 15:00 - 16:00 (America/Detroit) | Imagination Station, 1 Discovery Way, Toledo, OH, 43604, United States
Imagination Station | 3 p.m.
Path Through Ohio | 3:12 PM
People within a 124-mile-wide band in Ohio will bear witness to the total solar eclipse. Many major cities are in the path of totality, including Toledo. Make your plans now as hundreds of thousands of people are expected to make their way to the region to witness this once-in-a-lifetime event.
The total solar eclipse will begin at 3:08 pm, with the final exit of the Moon’s shadow from the state at 3:19 pm.
Totality in Toledo begins at 3:12 pm and will last for nearly two minutes and a partial eclipse will be visible before and after. Plus, the moon will be relatively closer to the Earth during the 2024 eclipse allowing it to be larger and last longer in duration.
The last total solar eclipse visible in Ohio was in 1806. The next total solar eclipse in Ohio will be in the year 2099.
The Weather
April weather in Ohio can sometimes pose a challenge. Ideally, an eclipse viewer will want crystal clear skies for the biggest wow factor. But, even if it’s cloudy, you will still experience some of the other phenomena like darkness, drops in temperatures and changes in wildlife behavior.

Ragtime
Nominated for 13 Tony Awards including “Best Musical,” and winning for “Best Original Score” and “Best Book of a Musical,” Ragtime makes its premiere to Toledo Opera audiences! Based on the novel by E.L. Doctorow, this musical tapestry depicts an African-American family, a Jewish family, and a wealthy white suburban family in turn-of-the-century New York. As they collide in pursuit of the American Dream, they discover the surprising interconnections of the human heart, the limitations of justice, and the unsettling consequences when dreams are permanently deferred. Ragtime is a powerful portrait of life at the turn-of-the-20th century, exploring America’s timeless contradictions of freedom and prejudice, wealth and poverty, hope and despair. Ragtime stars baritone Derrick Davis (Toledo Opera’s I Dream) as Coalhouse Walker, Jr., Broadway soprano Raquel Suarez Groen as Mother, and baritone Joshua Jeremiah as Tateh. J. Ernest Green returns to Toledo to conduct, as James M. Norman brings this poignant musical to life.
Book by Terrence McNally, Music by Stephen Flaherty, and Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens
Starring Derrick Davis as Coalhouse Walker, Jr., Raquel Suarez Groen as Mother, and Joshua Jeremiah as Tateh.

A PIVOTAL FIGHT

As April 29, 1813 dawned, the soldiers at Fort Meigs had been surrounded for two days by British forces and their Native American allies. This was a defining moment in the history of our state and nation. The First Siege of Fort Meigs would help turn the tide of war and usher in a series of American victories that would secure the Ohio frontier. General William Henry Harrison wrote that day,“It is at length reduced to certainty that the enemy are about to carry into effect their threatened attack on this post” and urged his men “To your posts then, fellow Soldiers, and remember that the eyes of your Country are upon you!”
Join us as Fort Meigs hosts re-enactors from across the U.S. and Canada to commemorate the First Siege of Fort Meigs by recreating authentic military camps and tactical demonstrations. Experience period camps, musket and cannon demonstrations, battle re-enactments, hands-on activities, and more!

Mahler Symphony No. 9
Frequently mentioned in the top ten greatest symphonies every written, Mahler’s Ninth is the expression of Mahler’s love for the earth, nature, and enjoying all it offers before death comes. Though not his last work, it is described as a peaceful farewell as Mahler contends with his own mortality during its writing.
