Come join the fun at the 4th annual Summer Solstice Festival at the Natural History Museum of Santa Maria on Saturday, June 16th from 11 am – 3 pm. We’re located at 412 S. McClelland St. near the Town Center Mall and across the street from the Santa Maria Public Library. Help us celebrate the official kickoff of summer, the end of spring and the longest day of the year on our planet. As always, there is FREE admission. 

There will be vendor booths along with games and entertainment for the entire family! The festival includes Arts, Music, and Crafts from local artists and groups. There will also be demonstrations about bees and bird habitats and much more. There will be entertainment including Mr. Biggers Ukulele Band and exercise fun with Hoop Works and the MC for the event is provided by A Class Act... A variety of food and refreshments will also be available at the festival.

Bring your spare change to help us launch this year’s Penny Project. Our goal is to raise $10,000. With your support, we can continue to grow the Natural History Museum’s educational outreach programs and provide much-needed updating and repair to the Renovation Project currently going on at the Natural History Museum.
