The '''Summer Solstice''' (known as '''Midsummer's Day''' in {{CF|short}}) is an event in the {{SER}} that occurs on June 21, coinciding with the first day of [[summer]] in the northern hemisphere. On this day, the sun is out longer than any other day.

===In {{CF|short|nolink}}===
In {{CF}}, the Summer Solstice is a European-exclusive event, referred to as Midsummer's Day, that takes place on the June 21. If the player talks to [[Tortimer]] outside the [[town hall]], they will receive an {{I|espresso maker|City Folk}}.

In {{NL}}, the event takes place in the player's town on June 21, the day when the sun is visible throughout the entire day, even at midnight. Despite this, [[bug]]s, [[fish]], and [[sea creature]]s still appear at their usual times. When the summer solstice occurs, the town holds a celebration, which is marked by a cut out board featuring a sun and a sunflower. If the player speaks with [[Isabelle]], who is located in the [[event plaza]], she will give them a pair of {{I|ladder shades|New Leaf}}. If a [[Bug Off]] occurs on the solstice, Isabelle will be located in front of the [[town hall]] instead.

The Summer Solstice's all-day effect does not apply to [[Tortimer Island]].

==Real-world information==
In the real world, the summer solstice is a phenomenon that occurs when the tilt of a planet's semi-axis, in either the northern or the southern hemisphere, is most inclined toward the star (in Earth's case, the Sun) that it orbits. Earth's maximum axial tilt toward the sun is 23° 26'. This happens twice each year - once for each hemisphere; during these times, the sun reaches its highest position in the sky as seen from the north or the south pole. However, what is seen in {{NL}} is actually known in the real world as a "polar day," a day on which the sun is visible for more than 24 hours. The event takes place in the Arctic Circle and Antarctic Circle on the days surrounding the summer solstice.
