Summer Solstice 2024 Fairbanks Alaska. Summer solstice 2024 (beginning of astronomical summer) on the day of the summer (june) solstice, the solar disk, moving along the ecliptic, will fall into its northernmost point and will be located at the maximum distance north of the celestial equator. It's a 10k race under the midnight sun!
At summer solstice, the sun once again bakes alaskans due to the tilt of the earth’s axis that leans us toward the sun. From music festivals and marathon races to native games and midnight sun parties, the entire state comes alive with festivities that honor the sun.
