SeaWorld to host an eclipse party on Saturday for the 'ring of fire'

SAN ANTONIO — SeaWorld is hosting an eclipse party on Sunday, October 14, to observe the solar eclipse expected that day.

Bexar County will be in the main pathway of the eclipse and several local cities will be in the path of 100 percent coverage.

People observing this eclipse will be able to see the "Ring of Fire". This means almost the entire sun will be covered by the moon, leaving an orange rim known as the ring of fire.

“At SeaWorld San Antonio, we’re excited about the annular eclipse and are thrilled to offer a front-row seat to this cosmic event,” said Jodi Davenport, SeaWorld Park President. “With our location being a prime spot precisely positioned to experience the longest annular eclipse duration in the city, it was only fitting to host the party of all parties to commemorate the event and it will be one that our guests will never forget!” 

SeaWorld's party on October 14 starts at 10:30 a.m. in Penguin Plaza and will feature a live DJ and costumed characters. Guests can also get eclipse-themed culinary treats as well as merchandise. SeaWorld will be giving away 5,000 one-of-a-kind specially designed eclipse glasses that will allow viewers to safely witness the eclipse’s “ring of fire”.
