Summer Solstice - Summer Festival At Stonehenge

Summer Solstice - Summer Festival At Stonehenge

At morning of the longest day of the year (22-06-2010), the sun rose to cheers from the tens of thousands who assemble each year at the prehistoric monument on Salisbury Plain.



Twenty thousand hippies, druids, pagans and sun-worshipers descended on Stonehenge for an all-night summer solstice party that culminated with the break of dawn.



The annual event at Stonehenge, near Salibsury, Wiltshire, is a modern twist on solstice celebrations which were once a highlight of the pre-Christian calendar.
