We have food, a grill, some lawn chairs, and plans for a good time!

Celebrate with us, and bring your family and friends! Especially welcome are musical instruments (or pots and pans), and anything else you would like to share with the community. We are looking forward to seeing you and sharing the longest day of the year with you!

We are also excited to welcome the Capoeira family back to the Food Forest's gathering place for a Roda (see more about Capoeira below). It is not to be missed!

Don't miss a Capoeira Roda at 2pm -- here's a look at the Solstice last year, and the wonderful Capoeira that happened in the Food Forest's gathering place!:

Capoeira is a Brazilian art form which combines fight, dance, rhythm and movement. Capoeira is a dialog between players - a conversation through movement which can take on many shades of meaning. The details of capoeira's origins and early history are still a matter of debate among historians, but it is clear that african slaves played a crucial role in the development of the art form. Some historians claim that slaves used capoeira's dance-like appearance as a way to hide their training of combat and self defense. Capoeira's many styles come out of the context of two principle branches that were formalized in the first half of the twentieth century following capoeira's legalization.
