People around the earth have celebrated the Winter Solstice as an astronomical event, marking the longest night of the year, since ancient times.

Northey Street City Farm have been celebrating the Winter Solstice for over 25 years with an annual festival of live music, dancing, talks and workshops for all ages, incredible food, a lantern parade and, of course, a beautiful bonfire. The festival on Saturday June 18 invites the Brisbane community to celebrate our relationship with Nature, to listen to First Nations knowledge, attend permaculture and sustainable living talks, appreciate local music and multicultural performances, and be a part of a ceremony that models setting intentions for the new year.
