MONTREAL — This city is in the path of totality, and its largest eclipse-watching event is taking place in Parc Jean-Drapeau. Thousands of people have arrived carrying blankets and chairs across Montreal's Jacques Cartier Bridge to get to the park, which is on an island in the St. Lawrence River. They are expected to be able to briefly view the total solar eclipse at 3:26 p.m. Montreal's Orchestre Métropolitain, directed by conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin, will accompany the eclipse live.
