Solar Fest at Idle Creek Farms
On April 8, 2024 a rare total solar eclipse will occur, providing us with 4 minutes and 23.5 seconds of total darkness in the middle of the day!
At Idle Creek Farms, we're celebrating this once-in-a-lifetime event with a family friendly festival to match the epic memories you'll make.
This event includes optional overnight accommodations, the opportunity to camp in one of our fields or on our creek, and access to our attractions (see below).
