Days Remaining Until the

Total Solar Eclipse!

Join your friends and neighbors to watch the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse on April 8, 2024, from 1:30–4:00 pm at the Cleveland Heights Community Center!


A solar eclipse—particularly a total eclipse—can be very dangerous to your eyes, so the City of Cleveland Heights has purchased eclipse glasses for the event. Our supplies are limited, though, so every family that registers will receive two pairs, which will be distributed at the event.


The event will feature a magician, a face painter, and activity stations for the kids. Crosby Corn popcorn will be available for purchase.


This is a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence. The last total solar eclipse in Ohio was in 1806, and the next one won't happen until 2099. So, this event will go forward regardless of the weather!

Recycle your eclipse glasses

Thanks to the Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District, Cleveland Heights will participate in a countywide effort to recycle eclipse glasses. The mixed materials they are made of make it impossible to recycle eclipse glasses through curbside and blue recycling bins. The County is partnering with the charitable organization Astronomers Without Borders to donate eclipse glasses for reuse. A box for recycling eclipse glasses will be available at the Community Center eclipse-watching event and at participating locations including the Heights Libraries.
