Another Festive Solstice!

June 21st, 2015


Last Saturday celebrated yet another summer solstice on Orcas Island. Locals go all-out for this summertime celebration, which commemorates the longest day of the year and the first day of summer, as well as the elevated numbers of visitors to the islands.

The earthball made its usual appearance on the backs of youngsters.
 
The earthball is a feature of almost every Orcas parade
 

The girls on stilts are also a traditional part of an Orcas parade.

Although the pet parade already happened this year, animals are welcome in the colorful line-up, whether in costume or not.
 
 
 

Furry companions are always welcome
