A weekend of eclipse-related events across New Brunswick will lead into Monday’s big spectacle.
In addition to multiple public viewing events on April 8, special multi-day festivals following the themes of space, science, and spirituality will tee-up the eclipse.
Miramichi’s ‘Total Eclipse Totale’ features the Astronomy East Conference, two nights of live music stages, and a special drone show.
On Saturday night, about 70 drones will form images in a co-ordinated sound performance over the Miramichi Airport.
“We think that’s going to be a big hit,” says Miramichi Mayor, Adam Lordon, in an interview.
The Miramichi Airport will also serve as a public viewing location for Monday’s eclipse.
“It’s going to be like a big drive-in movie theatre for these events that are going to be taking place, so the community and our visitors can gather and experience all of this together,” says Lordon.
