This Summer Solstice, Where Do You Want Your Sunrise?

June 20, 2024

The summer solstice, a time of magic and light, is upon us. Marking the first official day of summer, it’s the day when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky, giving us the longest daylight hours of the year. This year’s solstice is extra special as it’s the earliest one we’ve experienced since the late 1700s. What better way to celebrate this momentous occasion than by choosing the perfect spot to watch the sunrise?

Historically, the summer solstice has been a time of celebration and renewal. Ancient civilizations from the Egyptians to the Druids have honored this day with festivals, rituals, and monuments like Stonehenge. The solstice signifies a time of abundance, warmth, and growth, heralding the peak of summer.
