The Total Eclipse of April 8, 2024 in Burlington

Burlington is very well-placed to see totality! Though not right on the centerline, the downtown area is still deep in the path and will get a very respectable 3m15s of totality.

Where can I see the total eclipse?

Because of Burlington’s location in the path, you will be able to gain a few more seconds of totality by heading toward the centerline. The farther north and west you go (up to the centerline), the more totality you’ll see. So for example, at the airport, totality will last about 3m 12s. At the US2 exit off I-89, totality has increased to 3m25s. Heading up US2, the centerline lies just beyond Kinght Point State Park. (The Park itself will see 3m33s of totality.) Continuing up I-89 will get you to St. Albans. Here, you’re almost right on the centerline and will also get 3m33s in the shadow. Those few extra seconds are very nice to have, and the entire area is going to have a great experience on eclipse day!

Your viewing options may be limited if you head north on US2. It’s important to be safe when viewing an eclipse, and stopping on the side of the road is not recommended!

If you’re south of town, please note that Barre and Middlebury are right on the edge of the path. If you’re south of them, you won’t see totality at all.
