Goodsir Nature Park, just north of Prince George is holding its Shortest Night of the Year event, to celebrate the summer solstice.
Founder Jim Good told MyPGNow.com the event will run tomorrow (Saturday) from 10pm to 5am and should be quite spectacle providing Mother Nature cooperates.
“The northern ski doesn’t get fully dark this time of year and after 1am it very slowly starts to get brighter as we get on to two and three in the morning. The sun rises at 4:45.”
Good has been attending solstice-related events for the past 50 years and has become one of his passions.
“Back in those early years, I used to travel as far north as I could and if the solstice didn’t fall on that weekend it would be the closest weekend to it. I have a lot of fond memories of that.”
For anyone who wishes to come, they are encouraged to bring a lawn chair and guitar.
Good adds the Botanical Museum will be open all night, while the Vinyl Museum closes at midnight.
