Summer Solstice In-Person
Join us as we welcome in Summer officially!
The Summer Solstice: In the Northern Hemisphere, the June solstice (aka summer solstice) occurs when the Sun reaches its highest and northernmost points in the sky. It marks the start of summer in the northern half of the globe.
Summer Solstice Performers:
We will be joined by the Pueblo of Acoma Enchantment Dancers for a special performance throughout the event. The Pueblo of Acoma Enchantment Dancers have been together since 1981, originally as the Acoma Intercultural Dancers directed by the late Alden Keyope, and is now directed by second-generation Johnathan Keyope.
Performing traditional and contemporary dances of Acoma and Hopi Pueblo, Johnathan and his group believe in sharing and educating their culture to ensure the survival of the Acoma Keresan language and traditions among the youth. The Buffalo Dance celebrates an upcoming and successful hunt. As a social dance, it is shared to bring peace, harmony, and unity among the people throughout Mother Earth.
