4 thoughts on “Full eclipse in 2024 is expected to drive a million visitors to Indiana cities and towns

  1. I’m very excited that Indianapolis will get a chance to experience this. Hoping for warm weather and clear skies – a very rare day for April, no matter where you go in the eastern US.

    Expect the unexpected – huge crowds could be driving into or out of town very quickly to chase a forecast.
