This June 21st marks the start of summer in the Northern Hemisphere, as it aligns with when Earth reaches its point where the North Pole is most tilted towards our glorious Sun. At 10:58 AM EDT on this momentous day, we will get to witness nature’s longest period of sunlight hours and shortest night as a result! In contrast to these events taking place northwardly, down south they are ushering in their winter season beginning today - making sure all cultures around the world can enjoy and celebrate solstice folklore throughout 2023!
