Summer solstice astronomy night

June 21 @ 8:00 pm - 9:30 pm

From a dazzling vantage point at one of China Camp Point’s bayside bluffs, you’re invited to partake in our full moon summer solstice celebration. We will set up our telescope to get an up-close look at June’s “Strawberry Moon,” so called because it occurs during the height of berry season, as it emerges over the East Bay hills. Our docents will share fascinating facts about celestial science and cultural significance of the moon. We’ll also have fixings for two of summertime’s signature treats: s’more “moon pies” and chocolate-dipped strawberries.

We will stay in one location (no hiking) for this ADA-accessible, family-friendly event. Dress in layers for chilly evening temperatures and bring a flashlight or headlamp.
