The 2022 Summer solstice brought near-perfect 70-degree weather to the Boston area and, of course, many hours of sunlight.

Some places mark the day with festivals, like Midsummer in Sweden, others celebrate with bonfires, and Bostonians celebrated by getting outdoors and appreciating the spectacular early Summer views.

Here are photos and videos from the longest day of the year:
