That’s not all, the main stage will welcome DJ Champion and host Sophie Fouron.

Two First Peoples’ knowledge of solar eclipses will also be demonstrated through illustrations by visual artist Isadora and music by composer Martin Roy.
Starting at 11:00 AM, the public is invited to arrive, with free protective eclipse eyeglasses available on the day.
There will also be food trucks on site, a sugar shack, hot drinks and more.
