New York St Patrick's Day Parade
The summer solstice, the formal name for the longest day of the year, also commonly known and popularised by Shakespeare as midsummer takes place on the 21st June each year and is celebrated by different countries and cultures around the world.
Often commonly associated with the druid tradition in Europe, one of the most popular and iconic sites is Stonehenge, where for many years people have traditionally gathered to celebrate the solstice. A more modern interpretation can be found in New York's famous Times Square, where crowds have taken to gathering for a celebration including yoga at sunrise to mark the occasion.
The summer solstice falls on the 21st June
Stonehenge
Stonehenge attracts huge crowds for
the summer solstice, an event that starts on the evening before, June
20th, and culminates with the sunrise of the morning of June 21st, which
falls at 4.52am. Sunset on the previous evening will be at 21.26pm.
Please note that parking is limited at the site and the surrounding
roads can be a nightmare so from personal experience I very much recommend
the local bus service that leaves form Salisbury station and takes you
directly to the site for a very reasonable price.
