There won't be another total solar eclipse over Eastern Canada in the next 50 years so where will you be April 8th??!!
Come join the MDSS Events team at Waterfront Park (near the wharf) and groove to the music of DJ Carlos at our Eclipse Glow Dance Party!
There will be free popcorn and cotton candy, glow face paint will be available (note, black lights will be used at this event), and there will be limited numbers of foam glow dance sticks and solar eclipse glasses available at the event on a first come, first serve basis.
