The Great American Eclipse

Experience the wonder of the solar eclipse at the North Carolina Arboretum on Monday, April 8th.

A partial solar eclipse will be visible from Asheville – during maximum eclipse at 3:00 PM, roughly 85% of the Sun will be obscured by the Moon.
To mark this exciting event, the Arboretum is partnering with the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies to include you in special eclipse day activities for all ages!
Receive a pair of complementary NASA eclipse glasses to safely view the eclipse!
Watch a livestream broadcast from the path of totality featuring telescope views and NASA and Exploratorium scientists and educators!
Learn about how researchers are studying this natural experiment – what happens when the moon blocks the sun? – and contribute to NASA participatory science projects for all ages.

EARLY SHOW: Secret Agent 23 Skidoo w/ Street Creatures Puppet Collective

Doors: 11:30 AM  … Show: 12:00 PM
STANDING/DANCING ROOM ONLY

SECRET AGENT 23 SKIDOO … Secret Agent 23 Skidoo is a Grammy winning, internationally touring, purple velvet tuxedo wearing family funk phenemenon. Combining the positive, primal power of hip hop with the surreal storytelling of science fiction, 23 Skidoo has concocted a potent potion that wows family crowds across the planet.The ingredients of his magic spells include reverence for the boundless mindstates of young children, respect for the culture and DNA of hip hop, funk and soul music, and a deep belief in the power of the imagination to change the world in positive ways, both personal and universal. If you can imagine a band with Jim Henson on guitar, Shel Silverstein on bass and PIXAR as the lead vocalist, you’ve pretty much got it. And if George Clinton and Q Tip stopped by the party, that might clarify things even more. Basically, if Dr. Seuss and Dr. Dre had a baby, it would be the music of Secret Agent 23 Skidoo. Nuff said.

STREET CREATURES PUPPET COLLECTIVE … Welcome to a world where we create things we wish existed, out of cardboard and community! The Street Creature Puppet Collective is a group of puppeteers, artists, performers, musicians and tinkerers based in the mountains of Western North Carolina. We work in the traditional territory of the Cherokee (Tsalagi) people and honor them with gratitude for their stewardship of the land for countless generations. Founded in 2012, we make puppets and pageants for parades and festivals including LEAF Global Arts, the Asheville Holiday Parade, and Asheville Mardi Gras. We host work parties, workshops, and visiting artists. We do field trips, school visits, and performances for families. We support and collaborate with other performing arts groups in town, including Brass Your Heart Band, Asheville 2nd Line Marching Band, Daydreamz Theater, the Magnetic Theater, and Asheville Creative Arts
