    Summer Solstice - Sutro Heights Park
    Join us as we wind up our regular performance season by dancing the sun down over the Pacific. We typically time our dancing to coincide with sunset, and will begin dancing by 7:00pm. You may wish to plan to arrive a little before in order to find parking and make your way to the top of the hill. It's often windy, so dress warmly. Sutro Heights Park map
