The festival

Every year, at the summer solstice, thousands of people — Druid, pagan, family and curious — spend the night in Stonehenge to see the sun rising behind the Heel Stone, in the axis of the Neolithic monument. English Heritage then opens the circle of stones in free access framed (Managed Open Access), one of the few opportunities to walk among megaliths.

In 2026, the rally was held in the evening of Saturday, June 20, with a parking opening from 7 p.m., in the morning of Sunday, June 21, the longest day of the year. Sunrise is also followed live online for those who cannot move.

Your images are worth Festivos

You are at a festival, a concert, a village party, a traditional party, a private party — even two or three, on a boat or on a plane? Send us your images: Festival TV analyses them, and if they are broadcast, they pass on with your name in credit. Program in preparation. All the parties of the world interest us: we want to see how different communities celebrate life and manifest their joy.
