For one day, Lincoln could be the largest city in Nebraska that matters.

Nowhere else in the state should offer so many of its own residents prime views of the Aug. 21 total solar eclipse as its shadow sweeps from coast to coast.

Lincoln: Southwest part of city will be in totality the longest

Updated Aug 21, 2017

Weather permitting, nearly all of Lincoln's 280,000 residents can experience the total solar eclipse from their own backyards.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," said Jeff Maul, executive director of the Lincoln Convention and Visitors Bureau. "I think Lincoln people need to be aware that we're going to have people from all over the world here ... and it's going to be gone before you know it."

Beatrice: Ground zero for eclipse in Nebraska

Updated Aug 21, 2017

This is ground zero for Nebraska's eclipse festivities. Beatrice and other communities in Gage County expect as many as 60,000 visitors combined, including Omahans hoping to glimpse the total eclipse and Lincoln residents seeking an extra minute of totality.

In addition to a full slate of events over the eclipse weekend, Homestead National Monument will have two stages set up for the eclipse itself. NASA will be there, and so will Bill Nye "The Science Guy."

Alliance: Carhenge is the main event

Updated Aug 21, 2017

It's all about Carhenge. One of Nebraska's quirkiest landmarks is expected to draw a significant crowd for the eclipse. Even the governor will be here. But how many people can Carhenge accommodate? "Good question," says manager Kevin Howard. "We could have 15,000."

Other viewing sites include Laing Lake Park and the Airport Rodeo Grounds, and the Alliance Municipal Airport is hosting a fly-in, reservation-only viewing site.

Kearney: Multiple viewing sites

Updated Aug 21, 2017

Sharing the spotlight with its northern neighbor Ravenna, Kearney has many of its own events planned, especially leading up to the eclipse itself, including a trail run and cage fights on Saturday, and live music Sunday at The Archway and the Museum of Nebraska Art.

The day of the eclipse, for those not going to Ravenna, the University of Nebraska at Kearney will host a watch party at Foster Field, and Fort Kearny State Recreation Area will couple viewing with a science encounter. Public viewing will also be available at the Buffalo County Fairgrounds and the Viaero Center parking lot south of Interstate 80.

Ravenna: Die-hard sun-gazers

Updated Aug 21, 2017

One of the viewing sites chosen by die-hard sun-gazers, expect a flood of people on the road to Ravenna from Kearney come eclipse day to enjoy an extra 38 seconds of totality.

But the city isn't leaving all pre-eclipse festivities to its larger neighbor to the south. Cedar Hills Vineyard & Garden is hosting a Friday night "star party," followed by Ravenna's first-ever music festival on Saturday. Sunday events include a golf tournament, trapshoot and a road cruise.

North Platte: Charter buses to totality center line planned

Updated Aug 21, 2017

Like Kearney, North Platte will serve as a launching point for neighboring communities closer to the eclipse's center line, while still hosting its own viewing events.

Charter buses will make round trips to nearby Stapleton and Tryon throughout the weekend, starting as early as 7 a.m. the day of the eclipse, said Lisa Burke, director of the North Platte Visitors Bureau.

Stapleton/Tryon: Unobstructed views

Updated Aug 21, 2017

Deep in Sandhills ranching country, these two towns — with a combined population of about 500 — expect thousands of visitors to soak in unobstructed views of the eclipse in conjunction with events in North Platte. Local officials expect visitors from Spain, Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark, among others.

"It's going to be a short boost to the economy around here," says eclipse event coordinator Gary Johnsen.
