Sisters ramps up for Solstice season
The longest day of the
year falls on June 21, herald-
ing the start of summer. As
in the Shakespeare play A
Midsummer Night’s Dream,
it’s a time for celebrating
with song, dance, bonfires,
and evening intrigue. Folks
will gather for a drum circle
and labyrinth walk at Sisters
Community Labyrinth, fol-
lowed by a campfire and
potluck in the woods. A new
event called Solstice in the
Pines will offer creativity and
nature workshops throughout
the weekend.
