medicinewheelWes Anderson asks: Having a hard time finding enough things to do on the LONGEST DAY of the year?  Come and celebrate sunset on the Summer Solstice at the Medicine Wheel  Park (205 Winter Show Road SE) on Friday, June 21.  We will observe sunset at 9:30 p.m.

Plan to come early to visit with friends, meet new people, see the beautiful 4000 square foot garden, appreciate the new developments in the Park since your last visit, and enjoy a beautiful sunset together.  You are welcome to provide additional entertainment such as music, dancing, speeches, etc.  Please come prepared to improvise and surprise.

The Summer Solstice is the first day of summer and it officially begins at the moment the Sun reaches its most northern position (23.5 degrees north of the equator).  The Medicine Wheel marks where the sun sets on the horizon on the summer solstice.  See for yourself how the rock alignments unite the landscape to the sky to create a natural calendar.  It is dramatic!  You won’t want to miss it!
