After a long hiatus, the annual Summer Solstice Celebration at the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture is back—in-person! Join us on the longest day of the year from 5:00–9:00 PM to explore—free of charge—the galleries and new exhibitions at all four Harvard Museums of Science & Culture.

Then step outdoors to create a community mural, enjoy uplifting musical and circus performances, make a flower crown, or enjoy a snack at a food truck. Don’t miss this wildly popular event for all ages. 

See the new exhibitions, including Muchos Méxicos, Mediterranean Marketplaces, the immersive In Search of Thoreau’s Flowers, and the upcoming mini-exhibit Rice: A Story of Africa and the Americas.

Free parking will be provided at the 52 Oxford Street Garage.
