Welcome, glorious summer. Tomorrow is the official first day of summer; however, Greensboro will be celebrating today. Many residents will be basking in the glory of the Summer Solstice Festival in the Greensboro Arboretum and Lindley Park. This year, they are asking for a suggested $2 donation. That is a small price to pay for all of the effort that goes in to this annual summer kickoff event. Summer Solstice begins at 2:00 pm and ends at 9:00 pm with the Fire Finale. It will happen rain or shine. Make sure you wear festive clothing. Glitter and fairy wings are always popular. Blankets are nice and, while food will be available for purchase, you are welcome to take a picnic basket. Dogs in costume and on leashes are always a highlight. Come out and spread and soak in some summer warmth. See one of our solstice photos from a couple of years ago, here. See what the grand finale fire event looks like, here.
En route, be sure to stop by Holden Road, across from Starmount Country club and enjoy the above seasonal sign! Ah, SUMMER!
Should be fun!
