April 8, 2024 is the date for the next such eclipse, and it just so happens that Dayton will be a major hot spot, as the area will be treated to a totally obscured sun that day.

>> Crowds show up at Limp Bizkit concert site
This has local hoaxsters already making Internet plans for a major party.

An event page recently popped up on Facebook for an "eclipse party" at Dayton's most famous gas station, the Sunoco at 912 Wayne Ave. (We put it in air quotes because the Wayne Ave. Sunoco has endured several fake events, and this is very obviously another, because people literally do not have parties at gas stations.)

The page promises food, alcohol and live music -- albeit unconfirmed -- from Insane Clown Posse, Naughty By Nature, New Kids on the Block, Great White and, of course, Limp Bizkit -- "returning" stars of the April 20, 2016 and 2017 shows that TOTALLY happened. (Spoiler: Those events did NOT actually hapen.)
A very obvious hint as to the fact that this is a hoax: on the Facebook event, the venue is listed as “unconfirmed.”

Though the page has been up less than a day, it has more than 400 people committed to attending the (fake) show, with another thousand interested.
