Total Eclipse DFW, an innovative regional campaign and website designed to be the central hub for the highly anticipated April 8, 2024, Total Solar Eclipse and the Path of Totality in Dallas-Fort Worth, recently launched. Total Eclipse DFW will provide links to each page that uploads their events to the site – as well as to sponsors – and will promote the Metroplex at large as the best place in the U.S. to experience this rare Total Solar Eclipse. Importantly, Total Eclipse DFW will provide safe, ISO-certified Solar Eclipse viewing glasses. The Total Eclipse DFW geographic footprint includes 32 counties and more than 300 cities in the Path of Totality.
The Total Eclipse DFW website provides extensive information about Eclipse-related news and events in DFW, a list of the best places to view the Eclipse in each city, along with safety guidelines and more. The website will be updated regularly throughout the interval from now to April 8, 2024, so it is important to check it frequently for updates.
Total Eclipse DFW encourages any group, public or private, holding public-facing events to enter them on the website to ensure maximum exposure. The website will be promoted aggressively between now and April 8, 2024, to increase visibility and to ensure that everyone – residents and visitors alike – can see all the opportunities to enjoy the weekend and view this once-in-a-lifetime solar event. Terms for uploading events are included on the site.
Journalists from the U.S. and around the world are encouraged to contact Total Eclipse DFW as they are well-equipped to provide background and can connect you with subject matter experts in DFW.
TrizCom PR founded Total Eclipse DFW under the leadership of Jo Trizila, CEO. “After what happened to some in 2017, we couldn’t stand by and watch while people lost out on the chance to experience a Total Solar Eclipse in their own backyards, especially since it hasn’t happened here in more than 100 years and won’t happen again in North Texas for almost 300 years!” she said.
In 2017, Jo’s daughter Kate was in grade school. The entire school had been learning about the Eclipse for weeks, and the children were excited to see it. The Parent Teacher Association (PTA) had even purchased viewing glasses for everyone. Unfortunately, on the day of the partial Eclipse, it was discovered that the glasses were not ISO-certified, and the students could not go outside and watch the Eclipse.
Total Eclipse DFW was born from this disappointing experience.
Our mission is to:
- Help people in DFW and worldwide understand the rarity and significance of a Total Solar Eclipse and The Path of Totality.
- Foster collaboration among DFW cities, businesses and organizations to create the most attractive, safe and well-managed destination for the April 8, 2024, Total Solar Eclipse.
- Promote DFW to local, regional, national and international audiences as the premier location to experience this extraordinary event.
- Help businesses and organizations capitalize on this once-in-a-lifetime event.
- Ensure people can access ISO-certified Solar Eclipse viewing glasses from a trusted source.
Currently, Total Eclipse DFW has commemorative ISO-certified Solar Eclipse glasses available in bulk. In the coming weeks, individuals will be able to order smaller sets.
The launch of Total Eclipse DFW is the first step in this plan. Visit the website at https://TotalEclipseDFW.com for more information. Check back often to see new information as it becomes available.
