Summer Solstice & Truckee Thursday

Happy Summer Solstice ?

Can you believe it?! – It’s officially SUMMER – and things are just starting to heat up!  Today marks this year’s Summer Solstice, the longest day and shortest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.  This is a great time to embrace the daylight and honor the sun’s energy while enjoying all the natural wonders around us.  Pack a picnic with your hiking gear and head out (overnight camping and gathering around a bonfire after sunset doesn’t seem like a bad idea either)!  We’re sure you’ll find plenty of ways to cool off at the surrounding lakes, rivers and waterfalls – or perhaps this evening at your favorite, local watering hole for a summer inspired cocktail in Downtown Truckee to check out this week’s Truckee Thursday!

Here are some more ways you can celebrate the Summer Solstice 

Thursday nights in Downtown Truckee

Last week kicked off the first Truckee Thursday of the season – woohoo!  Celebrating the 11th year of transforming Historic Downtown Truckee into an exciting street fair for eleven Thursdays during the summer.  Truckee Thursday is a special experience for people of all ages – residents, visitors and participants alike.  Featuring live music, a food court, artisan vendors, merchant & community displays, children’s activities, beer garden, and our personal favorite – a farmers market!
