Solar eclipse: Events happening near STL

Here's a list of events happening near the St. Louis region for the Total Solar Eclipse on August 21, 2017.

<p>School children use protective glasses to look into the sky at a partial solar eclipse on March 20, 2015 in Glasgow, Scotland.</p>

On August 21, a total solar eclipse will cross the continental United States for the first time in decades, and St. Louis will be in the path of totality. That means for a few minutes on a Monday morning, it'll seem like the middle of the night.

To celebrate, there are going to be tons of events and watch parties across the region. We've gathered a list of some of them, and keep adding all the time.

So whether you're looking to learn more about science and eclipses, or you just want to enjoy the eclipse with a beer and some live music, you're certain to find an event to enjoy.
