During the summer solstice, we celebrate longest day of sunlight. On this day, the northern hemisphere receives more sunlight than any other day in the year. Earth’s northern pole’s is at its maximum tilt to the sun; therefore, we experience more hours of sunlight. Solstice comes from the Latin word (sol) sun and stitium (still or stopped), when ancients noticed the sun stopped moving in the sky and in succeeding days retreated. Celebrate with frivolity, fire, stories, drumming and mindful imagery.

Events taking place outdoors will be held in Assisi Heights Canticle Park & the surrounding grounds. Please park in the Canticle Park parking lot & join the group in the grassy area. We are open for limited sponsored events. Please refrain from attending if experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19 or other illness or have been exposed to any persons infected with COVID-19.
