On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will occur in Indianapolis, Indiana. Indianapolis is the largest city in the U.S. outside of Texas with a direct hit of totality on April 8. Located about two-thirds of the way to the centerline from the western limit of the eclipse path, Indiana's capital city is strategically located for very generous totality durations. With a duration of totality that lasts about 3 minutes and 49 seconds in the downtown area, Indianapolis is promised more than its fair share of darkness on eclipse day. All over Indiana, the interstate system makes it easy to get around, and Indianapolis serves as the hub of the network, offering convenient access to the city for travelers who want to drive into Indy to experience its long durations on April 8.
