Celestial Picnic – The 2024 Great American Total Solar Eclipse

Four Seasons Hotel Austin invites guests and locals to experience, beyond a shadow of a doubt (and under the shadow of the moon), one of the rarest events – the 2024 Great American Total Solar Eclipse – with a “Celestial Celebration” picnic on April 8, 2024.

● Family-friendly activities including interactive photobooth, tarot card readings, kid’s entertainment and more
● Live music performance to accompany the solar keynote
