If you’re looking for some inspiration, consider the ideas below.

3 Ideas for Celebrating the Summer Solstice

1. Home Cookout

Going the traditional route never fails, so if you have great entertainment spaces or a good grill, invite family and friends over. Nothing is more comfortable than celebrating in your home while serving a delicious combination of Alaskan seafood and sausage that’s perfect for the occasion. Spectacular views also make for a great setting when enjoying the solstice, so take advantage of any assets around your home.

2. Visit a State Park

For a truly natural experience, travel to a local state park with friends and family to enjoy the solstice. It’s the best way to watch the midnight sun, and being in the elements will make it more memorable. Between hiking and outdoor activities, take advantage of grilling stations to cook a quick meal. Alaskan seafood is good any time of the year, but it doesn’t get much better than dining al fresco on one of the state’s most special days.

3. Attend a Local Summer Solstice Festival

Many Alaskan’s consider the summer solstice as much a cultural event as it is a natural phenomenon and always find unique ways to celebrate and congregate. The Downtown Summer Solstice Festival in Anchorage, for example, offers a variety of activities, live entertainment, and interactive booths and installations for the whole family. Whether your home town is big or small, enjoying the summer solstice with locals is a grand way to make unforgettable memories.

The summer solstice only comes once a year, so take advantage of the opportunity.
