| The 2008 Musketaquid Summer Solstice celebration will take place
on Friday, June 20. This event is produced in collaboration with
the Organization for the Assabet River.
We celebrate the arrival of Summer along the Assabet, Sudbury
and Concord Rivers. The evening begins at 6:30 p.m. with a picnic
on the grounds of the Old Manse. Bring food, drink, and a blanket
for music with Snow Crow, singing with the Voices for the Earth
Chorus, and an incomparable view.
At 8 p.m. launch your canoe, rowboat, or kayak for an illuminated
flotilla up the Concord River to the confluence of the Assabet and
Sudbury rivers at Egg Rock. Bring along a candle
lantern that you can attach to your boat.
For those who want to participate without getting wet, the best
viewing spot is from the Lowell Road Bridge just outside Concord
Center, near the participatory Drum and Dance Circle with Earth
Drum Council at the Old Calf Pasture, which will also begin at 8
pm.
All are welcome to come for the picnic, the music, the flotilla,
the drumming, or all four. And everyone is encouraged to bring a
candle lantern.
