Where to Watch the Solar Eclipse in Central Texas With Food, Beers, and Wines
Earth — and Texans, in particular — will experience a rare total solar eclipse on Monday, April 8, 2024. The big, bright sun will be blocked by the little moon during the daytime, darkening our skies. And luckily for us, the total eclipse path includes Austin the Hill Country, and generally Central Texas.
This solar eclipse is an epic event: it encompasses a larger swatch of totality than the one from 2017, and lasts longer (over four minutes). The next one doesn’t happen until 2045, so don’t miss out.
To celebrate the giant astronomical occurrence, many Central Texas restaurants, bars, breweries, and wineries are hosting watch parties with foods, drinks, camping, science lessons (!), and much more.

General Central Texas and Hill Country Guides
A voter heads into the Ben Hur Shrine polling place in Austin as early voting begins for the March primary elections in Texas, Feb. 17, 2026. Voters can cast their ballots to decide who represents Republicans and Democrats in the November midterm elections.
Voters will decide if U.S. Sen. John Cornyn gets to keep the seat he’s held for more than two decades and which candidates will likely take a slew of redrawn congressional seats meant to give Republicans an edge. The races could decide control of Congress.

TEXAS VOTER GUIDE 2026: What’s on the ballot in Austin on March 3?
Plus, there are multiple statewide office openings for the first time in more than a decade. And voters will decide who will challenge Gov. Greg Abbott as he seeks a record fourth term in office.
U.S. Senate
After more than two decades in the U.S. Senate, John Cornyn’s political career hangs in the balance.
Article continues below this ad
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has led most of the public polling leading into the election, as he campaigns on a Make America Great Again platform that seeks to paint the more establishment Cornyn as out of touch. Further complicating Cornyn’s path to reelection is U.S. Rep. Wesley Hunt of Houston, whose campaign has focused attention on Cornyn’s 74-years of age.
The primary is expected to be one of the tightest statewide races in recent history, with most political observers predicting it will go to a runoff.
On the Democratic side, two of the party’s fastest-rising stars are facing off in a race that has largely been a contrast of styles.

U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, a 44-year-old former public defender, has cast herself as a partisan fighter who is unafraid to go toe-to-toe with President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans.
State Rep. James Talarico, a 36-year-old former middle school teacher in San Antonio, skyrocketed to national fame last year by leaning into his Christian faith and warning that Republicans are trying to use religion as a wedge by pushing such legislation as requiring public schools to post placards of the Ten Commandments.
Attorney General
The race for attorney general has become one of the most closely watched elections this cycle after Ken Paxton opted to leave the job to run for U.S. Senate, opening up the seat for the first time in more than a decade.

A crowded field of candidates is vying for the job and raising eye-popping totals. It’s become the second-most expensive race for political ad spending in Texas after the contest for U.S. Senate.
On the Republican side, state Sens. Joan Huffman and Mayes Middleton, former DOJ official and former Paxton aide Aaron Reitz, and U.S. Rep. Chip Roy are competing.
Public polling has shown Roy ahead, but more recent surveys indicate Middleton is gaining ground.
U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, for whom both Roy and Reitz worked as chief of staff, is backing Roy, while Reitz nabbed his own major endorsement from Paxton.

The Democrats gunning for a chance to be the state’s top lawyer include former federal prosecutor and FBI agent Tony Box; lawyer, mediator and former Galveston Mayor Joe Jaworski; and lawyer and state Sen. Nathan Johnson.
Jaworski and Johnson have emerged as early leaders, but many voters were still undecided, public polling showed.
Comptroller
The fight to run Texas’ top financial agency features an expensive GOP brawl. Gov. Greg Abbott is backing his ally Kelly Hancock, who is currently serving as acting comptroller, against former state Sen. Don Huffines, an antagonist of the governor’s who has lined up support from grassroots activists. Railroad Commissioner Christi Craddick is running, as well, with support from the oil and gas industries.

Democratic state Sen. Sarah Eckhardt of Austin appears to be the favorite for her party’s nomination and faces former Houston ISD trustee Savant Moore and Houston resident Michael Lange.
The winner will have an outsized role in Abbott’s property tax-slashing agenda should he win a fourth term in office. They will also oversee the state’s new $1 billion private school voucher program.
Agriculture Commissioner
Three-term incumbent Sid Miller is battling beekeeper and entrepreneur Nate Sheets, who has the endorsement of Gov. Greg Abbott and several Republican lawmakers.

Miller, a onetime rodeo champion, has won the endorsement of President Donald Trump, who made his choice known in a social media post after his visit to Corpus Christi on Friday.
Congressional District 31
U.S. Rep. John Carter of Georgetown is facing a crowded field of Republican primary challengers, including a one-time TV pitchman as he pushes for a 13th term in Congress.
Article continues below this ad
Carter has President Donald Trump’s “complete and total” endorsement.
His GOP challengers are: businessman Abhiram Garapati, who has challenged Carter three times before; Army veteran William Abel, who was among Carter’s 2024 opponents; Elvis Lossa, an Army veteran who served in both Afghanistan and Iraq; Steven Dowell, a former member of the Army’s military police; Vince “Shamwow” Shlomi, who hosted offbeat infomercials for cleaning products; and Valentina Gomez, a former collegiate swimmer who two years ago made an unsuccessful bid for the GOP nomination for Missouri secretary of state.
A gunman opened fire outside a bar in Austin’s West Sixth Street entertainment district shortly before 2 a.m. Sunday, killing two people and injuring 14 others, authorities said.
Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis said the suspected gunman drove a large SUV around the block several times before the attack. He then rolled down the windows and began firing a pistol, striking patrons at the bar.
The gunman then parked, exited the vehicle and continued shooting with a rifle, police said.
Paramedics and police arrived within a minute after the first 911 call, Davis said. Officers fatally shot the suspected gunman at the scene.
Here’s what we know so far.
Who were the victims?
Authorities identified the victims as 24-year-old Saditha Shan and 19-year-old Ryder Harrington, a student at Texas Tech University.
“It is unfair, to say the least, that my little brother was only given 19 years on this earth,” his brother, Reed Harrington, wrote on Facebook. “Watching the man he had become, and seeing all the lives he touched, leaves me certain that this world was robbed of a great future.”
Three people injured during the shooting remained in critical condition Monday, though one is expected to be taken off life support later today, Davis said during a Monday news conference.
Who was the gunman?
Austin police identified the gunman as Ndiaga Diagne, a 53-year-old man originally from Senegal.
The Department of Homeland Security said Diagne entered the United States on a tourist visa in 2000, became a lawful permanent resident in 2006 after marrying a U.S. citizen and became a naturalized citizen in 2013.
In 2017, Diagne legally purchased the guns he used in the shooting in San Antonio, Davis said.
Diagne was arrested in 2022 on a misdemeanor charge of “collision with vehicle damage,” typically issued when a driver leaves the scene of a crash.
The New York Post reported Diagne was arrested for “illegal vending” in New York City in 2001. Citing unnamed sources, the tabloid said he was arrested in New York three other times between 2008 and 2016, but those records are sealed. The Post did not report on whether he was convicted of any crimes.
Authorities said they expect to release more information on Diagne’s criminal history on Thursday as well as body camera footage and other details related to the officer-involved shooting that led to Diagne’s death.
What was the motive?
Investigators have not announced a motive. However, Alex Doran, acting special agent in charge of FBI San Antonio, said there were indicators that the shooting could be related to terrorism.
Diagne wore a sweatshirt emblazoned with the words “Property of Allah” and a shirt with a design of the Iranian flag, according to the Associated Press. The shooting came hours after the United States and Israel carried out airstrikes in Iran.
What are elected officials saying?
Reactions from Texas politicians have largely fallen along partisan lines. Democrats are calling for stricter gun laws, while some Republicans have focused on the gunman’s immigration history.
After Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico called for proposals such as universal background checks, red flag laws and closing the gun show loopholes that allow for the private sales of firearms at gunshows, Gov. Greg Abbott said the problem wasn’t gun laws but with “unvetted” immigration.

Federal investigators are looking into whether a shooting in Austin, Texas, on Sunday—that involved a gunman opening fire at a downtown beer garden, killing two and wounding 14—constitutes a potential act of terrorism.
Alex Doran, the acting special agent in charge of the FBI’s San Antonio Field Office, said in a press conference that while it’s still too early to determine a motive, authorities found “indicators” on the alleged gunman and in his vehicle that “indicate potential nexus to terrorism.”
The suspected gunman, who was reportedly wearing clothes that bore “Property of Allah” and an Iranian flag design, was shot dead in a standoff with law enforcement.
The shooting happened just a day after the U.S. and Israel launched a major military campaign against Iran. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said President Donald Trump was briefed on the shooting.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican who expressed support for the latest Iran strike, said in a statement: “To anyone who thinks about using the current conflict in the Middle East to threaten Texans or our critical infrastructure, understand this clearly: Texas will respond with decisive and overwhelming force to protect our state.” A day before the incident, Abbott directed the Texas Military Department to activate service members to “work alongside state and federal partners to safeguard our communities and critical infrastructure,” and he directed the state’s Department of Public Safety and the Texas National Guard, to “intensify patrols and surveillance.”
Here’s what to know.
What happened?
Shortly before 2 a.m. Sunday, the suspect circled past Buford’s Backyard Beer Garden on Sixth Street several times in a “large SUV,” before stopping and opening fire with a pistol out of the vehicle window at people on the patio and gathered outside the bar, Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis said in a press briefing on Sunday.
The suspect parked the vehicle, stepped out with an assault rifle, and started firing at people on the street, according to Davis. Officers responding to the incident shot and killed the gunman.
The shooting took place along Sixth Street, a popular nightlife and entertainment district located a few miles from the University of Texas at Austin. Three people, including the suspect, were killed, and 14 were injured in the attack. All of those injured were transported to local hospitals, with three in critical condition, Austin EMS Chief Robert Luckritz said at the Sunday briefing. The names of the victims were released as of Sunday night.
Jim Davis, president of UT Austin, confirmed in a statement that members of the university community were among those affected by the shooting, although they have not been publicly identified. “Our prayers are with the victims and all those impacted, including members of our Longhorn family, and my heart goes out to their families, friends, classmates, professors, and loved ones,” Davis said. “As Longhorns, we feel this pain together.”
What do we know about the suspect?
The Austin Police Department identified the suspect as Ndiaga Diagne, a 53-year-old man. Diagne, who was born in Senegal, officials told the Associated Press, first came to the U.S. in 2000 on a B-2 tourist visa, according to a Department of Homeland Security statement to the AP. He married a U.S. citizen in 2006 and became a lawful permanent resident, before becoming a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2013.
A law enforcement official briefed on the case told CNN that Diagne was wearing a shirt with an Iranian flag design and a hoodie emblazoned with “Property of Allah.” The AP also reported the words and symbols on his clothes, also citing a law enforcement official.
The Austin American-Statesman reported that investigators searched a house in Pflugerville, north of Austin, linked to Diagne’s possible relative. Local television station KXAN reported that Diagne had been issued a driver’s license with an address in Pflugerville in 2017.
Neighbors speaking to the New York Times said Diagne had maintained a low profile. “They kept very much to themselves,” Chris Finch, who lived next to the searched home, said. “They didn’t really say hi or anything.”
Another neighbor and the president of the neighborhood’s homeowners association, Eddie Garcia, said he was never aware of any previous issues. “We’re all neighbors and respect each other but we are also private and keep to ourselves,” he told the Statesman.
How are authorities reacting?
Mayor Kirk Watson called the shooting “an extremely difficult, traumatic moment” for the city.
Senator Ted Cruz (R, Texas) said the shooting was a “senseless act of violence” and that he and his team are coordinating with local, state, and federal authorities over the incident.
Other Texas politicians have been united in condemning the shooting and extending condolences to victims and their loved ones, but they have been divided along partisan lines as to what’s to blame for the attack.
In a statement posted on X, eight Democrats in the Texas state legislature, including U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico, said, “Gun violence continues to steal the lives of far too many Texans. Our hearts are with the victims of today’s shooting and their families. We will never stop fighting for them.”
Rep. Greg Casar (D, Texas) posted, “We must end America’s gun violence epidemic. Americans should be able to have fun at a bar without it turning into an unspeakable nightmare like this one— and I will redouble my efforts in Congress to prevent the next tragedy like this.”
“Gun violence is preventable. This devastating loss of life was preventable,” Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D, Texas) posted on X. “Until Republicans find the courage to say no to the NRA, our country will be plagued with more tragedies.”
Republicans, on the other hand, have blamed the attack on Islamic extremism and mass migration. Rep. Chip Roy (R, Texas) said, in response to Doggett, that “Muslim immigrant violence – naturalized or not – is preventable. Until Democrats (& Republicans) find the courage to say no to the mass migration of Islamists, our country will be plagued with more tragedies…”
In another post, Roy said the shooting in Austin was “carried out by a suspected Islamist who came on a tourist VISA, and OVERSTAYED for years,” adding that the “tragedy was preventable” and that “failed policies have real consequences.”
“Allowing unvetted immigrants who are hostile to America, who are loyal to our adversaries like Iran, must end,” Abbott, the Republican governor, said in response to a call by Talarico for stricter gun regulations. “The way to end it is to end the current open immigration policies.” (Talarico responded, “Dangerous people should not be allowed into the country. Dangerous people should not be allowed to get guns.”)
The Texas chapter of the Muslim rights advocacy group Council on American-Islamic Relations condemned the shooting in a statement, but it also rejected using the incident to attack the larger Muslim community.
“While a single person carried out this heinous attack last night, hundreds of thousands of Texas Muslims finished their night prayers and headed to their homes while calling on God for global peace and justice,” the statement said. “We encourage elected officials, law enforcement, faith leaders, and community members to come together to support the families of the victims and reaffirm our shared commitment to public safety.”
