🌙 WHAT A NIGHT! 🌙

Despite the rain, the magic of Solstice in the Square 2026 shone through.

From glowing light installations and crackling fire pits to incredible music, performances, food, and community spirit, Regent Square and the Memorial Hall came alive as we celebrated a winter's night. The weather may have tested us, but it certainly didn't dampen the atmosphere!

A heartfelt thank you to our amazing performers, artists, food and beverage vendors, sponsors, volunteers, and event crew. From the early morning setup to the late-night pack down, your hard work, creativity, and dedication helped create something truly special for our community and visitors.

And to everyone who attended, thank you for embracing the weather, dressing up, dancing, gathering around the fire, and making the night so memorable.

📸 We can't wait to share photos and highlights from the evening over the coming days, so keep an eye on our socials and relive the magic with us.

Until next time.... 🌙🔥
