Total Solar Eclipse

Save the date – the Total Solar Eclipse is happening on Monday, April 8! Fishers and Hamilton County are right in the path of totality, and Indiana is bracing for hundreds of thousands of visitors during this weekend. The Eclipse will take place on the last day of Hamilton Southeastern Schools’ spring break, so you may want to consider returning home on or before Saturday, April 6 as traffic will be heavy.

Get your eclipse-viewing glasses by participating in Hamilton East Public Library’s Winter Reading Program. We encourage residents to watch the Eclipse from their homes, and please be aware that if you do travel, you are at risk of extended public safety response times in the instance of an emergency on this day. Find safety tips and more info here.

“Safe Trade” Zone at Fishers Police Departments

If you are participating in online swaps or buying and selling on third-party platforms like Facebook Marketplace, consider making the trade at a Safe Trade Zone, located at the Fishers Police Department. Police urge residents to make these transactions in a safe and well-lit area. Learn more about this new safety initiative here.
