Aiken in July

It’s time to start planning! For the first time in 38 years, a total solar eclipse will be visible across the continental United States on August 21st. What’s so exciting? The path of totality runs diagonally across the country from Oregon and ends in South Carolina, and there are places within Aiken County that are in the path of totality! With viewing parties, events, and plenty of open space, there's no better place to witness this phenomenon than Aiken, SC. Find out why!
