Celebrate the longest day of the year as astronomical summer officially begins June 21st at 4:24 AM ET — the perfect cosmic moment to soak up extra daylight.

With days growing shorter after this peak, Ohio’s got you covered with events like the World Equestrian Center Soiree, Serpent Mound festivities, and a sunrise gathering at the Ohio History Connection — all great ways to honor the sun’s grand finale before the descent.
