Celebrating the Summer Solstice in Denver
Today is the longest day of the year, which means there’s plenty of summer to celebrate!
It’s felt like summer to me the last few weeks…. but the official start of the my favorite season is tomorrow! Are you interested in saying goodbye to spring and hello to pool days, hikes, and patios galore? Check out my list of ways to celebrate the summer solstice this year…. and don’t forget…. it’s tonight!
The Solstice starts at 9:54 AM MST today, June 21st. This means the sun is directly over the Tropic of Cancer at 23.5 degrees north latitude. This also means it’s time to get outside and celebrate!
