Chabot’s Solar Eclipse Viewing Watch Party & Festivities (2026)

Chabot Space & Science Center

Join Chabot astronomers for a live watch party of the magnificent Total Lunar Eclipse from Chabot’s Observation Deck. Bring your friends & family and a lawn chair to enjoy Eclipse-themed crafts and demonstrations, then get bundled up with a cup of hot cocoa to watch this stunning celestial show.

During the peak of the Eclipse, The Moon will become totally engulfed in Earth’s dark umbral shadow, turning stunning shades of orange and red as the twilight glow of sunlight slips around the edges of Earth’s atmosphere and shines onto the Moon’s face.

In the event of fog or rain, all programming will be moved indoors, and a livestream of the eclipse from a clear-sky location will be streamed in our 70-foot full-dome Planetarium.
