Aroostook County expects a tourist surge on April 8th for a total solar eclipse, visible in 13 states, including Maine.

Aroostook County communities are preparing for an influx of tourists on April 8th for a total solar eclipse. This rare phenomenon, not seen in Maine since 1963, occurs when the moon passes in front of the sun, darkening the sky. The path of totality, where the sun is fully covered by the moon, will pass through Maine, providing a unique viewing experience for visitors. With Maine being one of only 13 states where the eclipse will be visible, communities are anticipating a significant tourism boost.
