Thursday, June 20th, 2024 7pm – 8:30pm
The summer solstice is a celestial event that has been important to cultures around the world for thousands of years. At Marietta, this event was marked by Native Americans with alignments on the prehistoric earthworks. This year for the first time The Castle will celebrate the summer solstice with an outdoor concert by Hominid, featuring world music, and commentary by staff archaeologist Wes Clarke.
