Whether you’re a fan of winter or wish it would go away, you can’t deny the beauty of the Winter Solstice. Also known as midwinter, the Winter Solstice occurs when the Earth’s poles has its maximum tilt away from the Sun. It happens twice yearly, once in the middle and once at the end. The Winter Solstice is the day with the least daylight and longest night of the year! So, the team at The Barwon Club thought why not throw a party to celebrate!
Please welcome the very first Winter Solstice Festival, a festival working with bands, artists, DJs and sponsors to transform The BC into a pagan celebration for the longest night of the year on Saturday June 22.
Using artists from the Geelong area, The BC team will create a space in the venue akin to mini art exhibitions, covering as many walls as possible with installations, banners, projections, glitch art and more for ONE NIGHT ONLY!
In true pagan fashion, they will be performing a special ceremony as the sun sets so it’s wise to get down early! We encourage all those coming to dress up and celebrate the Winter Solstice, because why the heck not?!
