Solar Eclipse Details Update

It’s going to be a once-in-a-lifetime Solar Spectacle!!

Looking for somewhere wide open in the county to experience this incredible Total Solar Eclipse on April 8th? Well, bring yourself and the kids to this free and fun event located at GL Heritage Brewing Company and co-hosted by neighbouring Bryerswood Youth Camp!

On the 99.9% path of totality, we will be open from 12-6pm on Monday, April 8th to host a fun and interactive, family-friendly viewing party on the expansive grassed grounds of the brewery. Feel free to bring your lawn chairs or blankets to settle in for this unique event.

Amherstburg’s Nat’s Wraps & Apps Food Truck will be on site all afternoon serving up a great menu for purchase, solar glasses will be available for just $3 each (while supplies last), and yes, the brewery will be open to offer beer, seltzer, pop, water and juice for purchase.

Bryerswood Youth Camp Volunteer Coordinators will be setting up various free interactive games, cooperative activities, crafts, including the chance to make eclipse models, throughout the afternoon.

We will also have a retired educator on microphone intermittently to share the status of, and science behind, what’s occurring up in the sky and it’s impact to us and nature here on earth.

A new local radio station in Essex County, CKRT Border City Radio, will be set up and interviewing guests while broadcasting live on site.

So, join us by reserving your free spot for the afternoon and be sure to select if you need us to reserve solar glasses for you or your crew!
