Celebrating The Total Solar Eclipse Through Food

Parts of Western New York in the path of totality for the April 8 total solar eclipse are celebrating the celestial event through specialty drinks and dishes.

For the April 8 eclipse I traveled to the path of totality in Buffalo, NY. During my trip I was surrounded with eclipse themed treats and eclipse themed watch party flyers posted around Buffalo and surrounding towns.

Wegmans locations throughout Western New York are offering eclipse decorated cookies, cupcakes, charcuterie boards, and eclipse themed flower arrangements for watch parties.
