But ... the solstice celebrations continue, despite the weather. We tend to overlook things like rain when there's a chance for an all-nighter with barbeque parties at midnight. In Fairbanks, they'll kick off the season with the Midnight Sun baseball game that begins at midnight.
Anchorage hosts the Mayor's Midnight Run (well, it took place over the weekend, but close enough) and all sorts of other events, such as the John Bagoy Summer Solstice Cemetery Tour - at the Anchorage Memorial Park Cemetery, tonight, where many of our pioneers are interred, with a narrated history of who they were & what they did.
So what if it's rainy? A little rain never hurt anyone. Sure, we'd prefer sunshine, but what the hey - at least it won't be dark.

Nope. It won't be dark. We didn't get to AK until July 3rd last year and that was down in Skagway. Still, to have twilight until 11:30 PM and then predawn starting around 1:00 AM was amazing. Good thing all the touring tired me out or I would have had a heck of a time sleeping!
Enjoy this special time of year, my friend.
