The summer solstice, the longest day of the year, is celebrated by different cultures all over the world. For the last 40 years a farmer in England has arranged a special celebration on his farm.
Each June, thousands of people travel to a field six miles from Glastonbury, a small town in southwest England. The local population grows from about 10,000 to over 185,000, with many people arriving from abroad during the weekend. They’re taking part in the Glastonbury Festival, one of the biggest open-air festivals in the world.
