Audubon is thrilled to partner with Gather Food Hall to celebrate the longest day of the year, welcome the first day of summer, and gear up for Pollinator Week. For birds, the Summer Solstice falls at the height of breeding season, when long daylight hours provide maximum foraging time to feed rapidly growing nestlings. It’s also a seasonal turning point: after the solstice, days begin to shorten, cueing birds to shift from nesting to post breeding activities and, eventually, migration. 4:00-9:00pm DJ Ayo Sammy, Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens Native Plant Sale, Board Games, Audubon Mid-Atlantic Binocular Station, Delicious food and drinks and more! 5:00-6:00pm K-pop Dance Performance by Sunmi 5:00-5:30pm; 6:00-6:30pm; 7:00-7:30pm Audubon Mid-Atlantic Container Plant Demos 7:00-8:30pm Line Dancing led by Ray Okuda Bring a blanket and settle in, to Picnic ‘til the Sun Goes Down!
