Summer Solstice Celebration

Summer Solstice Celebration
By: David Mills


ROCKLAND, ME - On Friday the annual Summer Solstice was held with hundreds of people turning out for this year's event. The Summer Solstice is hosted by Rockland Main Street Inc. This year there were food, dancing, music and more that appears to all age groups.

Studio Red had performers performing dances by Rock Coast Sports from little kids to adults. In a nutshell they all did an amazing job with the dances they had to do. A lot of people gathered around to watch them perform.

If food is what you came for then you wasn't left out as they had cotton candy, seafood (my favorite), Sweets & Meats, just to name a few for those looking for a bite to eat.

We can't leave out music as there were great bands there performing along Main street. They did from what I heard a wonderful job.

Among the other events going on, there were a pooch parade from Camden National Bank down Main street to Loyal Biscuit. Awards were given out to like the cutest dog, the smallest and the biggest, just to name a few.

The Rockland's Fire Department had their tower 3 truck there for people to see. Maine Lobster Festival had their giant lobster on Main street for people to check out. There was also the U.S Coast Guard Boat for people to learn how it works by being allowed to go aboard. Face painting was also there for the little kids to enjoy.

All in all I think this year's Summer Solstice was a big hit with what was offered and the double rainbow provided by the weather. A big thank you goes out to Rockland Main Street Inc. for hosted this great event.

Please enjoy photographs that will transport you back to what happened at this year's Summer Solstice.
