On certain years, the summer solstice falls on June 22, marking the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.
The summer solstice occurs when the Sun reaches its zenith in the sky, producing the longest day and shortest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. Due to the mechanics of Earth's axial tilt and orbit, the exact date of the solstice varies between June 20 and June 22. In 2007, 2011, 2015, and 2019, this peak of summer daylight happened on June 22. Many cultures have traditionally marked the solstice with celebrations, including bonfires, rituals, and harvest festivals that honor the Sun's life-giving energy. Observing the solstice offers a moment to reflect on the changing seasons and our deep connection to the natural world.
