You’re invited to the National Air Force Museum of Canada’s Total Solar Eclipse Viewing Event!

Join us on Monday April 8th from 12-5 to view the solar eclipse in our Airpark. Admission is by donation and each visitor will receive one (1) free pair of eclipse glasses.*We invite you to bring lawn chairs and blankets for a cozy eclipse picnic in the Airpark. Local food trucks The Binge Box and The Pink Funnel will be on site in case you get hungry!

There will be lots to do inside the Museum as well! We’re thrilled to be welcoming special guest artist David Arrigo, who will be on site for a Live Mural Experience celebrating #RCAF100. Visitors will be able to enjoy a live performance by the 8 Wing Band as they explore the Museum searching for “moon rocks”.

We’ve made getting here easy! The City of Quinte West will be running a FREE shuttle service from Centennial Park to the NAFMC from 11:30am to 5:30am.
