(This is an archived page about the total solar eclipse that occurred on April 8, 2024. For information on future eclipses, please see our Upcoming Eclipse Maps page.)
On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will occur in San Antonio, Texas. San Antonio is the largest city in the U.S. along the 2024 path of totality. Unfortunately, though, the city sits right on the eastern edge of the path with about half of the city inside the path and half outside. Downtown attractions like the River Walk and the Alamo are outside the path of totality and you'll need to be in the northwestern part of the city to see a total eclipse—although totality durations will be relatively short here along the edge of the path. If you're in the San Antonio area and want to more than double your totality viewing time, you can drive west on Interstate 10 to reach the eclipse centerline about 60 miles away. Below, we've provided key details about the eclipse in San Antonio for locals and visitors planning on viewing the eclipse from that city.
