Experience the first day of summer in a unique way

Celebrate the official beginning of summer with a special viewing of the summer solstice! Join us early in the morning to watch the Sun reach its highest point in the year, marking the longest day of the year and the beginning of summertime.

Afterward, discover how the people of Angel Mounds intelligently designed the mounds to align with celestial phenomena like the summer solstice and how they knew what they knew.

Bring a lawn chair or blanket to sit on.
