La Fiesta del Sol: Celebration of the Sun Annular Eclipse Event

Come celebrate with us as we provide a community event, “Fiesta del Sol: Celebrate the Sun,” for the annular solar eclipse on Saturday, October 14, 2023, from 9:30 am to 2:30 pm at the west side of the San Antonio College campus immediately surrounding the Scobee Education Center. Free entry tickets are not required, so free registration provides a map and information for your personal use.

This free community event is sponsored partly by the NASA Community Anchor Grant and the Boeing Company grant. We will host guest speakers, live music, family-friendly activities, solar-filtered telescopes for public viewing, food trucks, and much more! Free solar filter glasses will be available for families while supplies last.

$5 parking on college campus

Special limited VIP access to the Powell Star Deck, the Scalan Observatory telescope, indoor catered lunch (2nd floor), and reserved VIP parking in garage #3 will be available through tickets priced at $500 per person. It may be purchased via the Alamo College marketplace mall when the posting becomes available. Limited to 26 people.
