The Summer Solstice, on June 21, is the longest day of the year. It happens when the sun is the highest in the sky, making daytime extra long and nighttime extra short. People all over the world celebrate it in different ways. Some enjoy being outside, having fun with family and friends, or having festivals with dances and music. In some places, people think of it as the start of summer. It's a time when everyone can enjoy more sunshine, play outside, and maybe even stay up a little later because the sun sets much later than usual.
How to celebrate Summer Solstice?
On Summer Solstice, wake up early to see the sunrise and feel the magic of the longest day. Have a picnic with your favorite snacks and play games outside with your friends or family. Make flower crowns and wear them while running around in the sunshine. Build a little bonfire when it gets dark and roast marshmallows, telling fun stories to each other. Dance and sing your favorite songs, celebrating the start of summer. Before going to bed, look at the stars and make a wish for a wonderful summer. Remember, it's all about having fun and enjoying nature!
