DALLAS/FORT WORTH, TX — In anticipation of the Great North American Eclipse on April 8, select Marriott Bonvoy hotels in Dallas - Fort Worth launched a “cosmic collaboration” with the Perot Museum of Nature and Science. The alliance aims to offer memorable experiences for astronomy enthusiasts and travelers during events set for April 7 in the Dallas - Fort Worth area, combining education and entertainment around the rare astronomical event.

A Night of Cosmic Wonder The highlight of the collaboration is the Cosmic Cocktail Hour, scheduled for the evening of April 7 across nine participating Marriott Bonvoy hotels and resorts across Dallas, Fort Worth, Irving and Plano. More than a social gathering; the unique events serve as an educational journey featuring an expert astronomer from the Carnegie Institution for Science, facilitated by the Perot Museum, at each property. These astronomical experts will offer insights into the eclipse, provide safety tips for optimal viewing, and field any astronomy-related questions.

Culinary Delights Meet Celestial Phenomena In addition to the educational aspect, each Cosmic Cocktail Hour will feature an array of eclipse-themed culinary creations and libations, adding an element of fun and thematic flair to the evening.
