Summer Solstice Celebration

  • Milwaukee Zen Center 2825 N Stowell Ave Milwaukee, WI 53211 USA (map)

The Summer Solstice will occur on Friday, June 20, and it will be both the longest day and shortest night of 2025 in the Northern Hemisphere. The earth’s north pole will be tilting towards the sun at 23 degrees, and we will experience more than 15 hours of sunlight. This marks the beginning of summer, and temperatures rise. Many culture celebrate this annual occurrence with joyful festivals.
The exact time of the solstice will be 9:42 CT, and we will celebrate it during the Half-Day Sitting on Saturday.
