Summer Solstice Celebration
Sponsored by JPMorgan Chase
The Dolphins Quartet, Shouse ensemble
Join us for the second annual Summer Solstice Celebration, a day of music and making at Cranbrook Art Museum (CAM) and Cranbrook Institute of Science (CIS)!
Inspired by traditional Scandinavian solstice festivities, this modern celebration embraces art, science, and the beauty of nature on the longest day of the year—when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky. At CIS, explore the wonders of the cosmos by sky-gazing through the observatory telescope, attending solstice-themed planetarium shows, and participating in interactive science activities. At CAM, enjoy Cranbrook’s beloved Maypole dance, sun-inspired music on the peristyle, and hands-on artmaking activities. Adding to the festivities, the Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival will present The Dolphins, a dynamic Juilliard string quartet dedicated to excellence, adventure, and accessibility. Educators from The Henry Ford Museum will lead special making activities while guests can enjoy yard games, delicious food, and festive treats on the museum grounds. Celebrate the magic of midsummer with us!
Advanced registration includes admission to both Cranbrook Art Museum and Cranbrook Institute of Science. $12 general admission / $10 ArtMembers and Cranbrook Institute of Science Members; $15 on-site admission.
