Summer Solstice 2013: Beach Celebration & Bonfire | Ocean Beach

Thursday, June 20, 2013 - 7:30 pm | Cost: FREE*
Ocean Beach (Taraval St) | Great Hwy & Taraval St, San Francisco, CA

Come to Ocean Beach at the end of the longest day of the year on June 20, 2013 to celebrate the light and honor the turning of the Wheel of the Year back toward the darkness with a beach bonfire and pagan summer solstice ritual. Gather at 7:30 pm, ritual starts at 8 pm.

Please note: This is a spiritual solstice event, not a beach party and clothing is optional.

There’s no alcohol or drugs allowed. So if you’re looking for a beach rager, this isn’t the event for you. But if you’re looking for a way to connect with others who celebrate the solstice, you’re welcome to join.

Please bring clean firewood (firewood is always welcome – no pallets, nails, construction material, plywood, painted or treated wood), warm clothes, food or non-alcoholic drink to share, and a towel if you want to plunge.
