Welcome Summer: Fun Ways to Celebrate the Longest Day of the Year From outdoor adventures to seasonal traditions, the summer solstice is the perfect opportunity to embrace sunshine, relaxation and the joys of the season.

The arrival of the summer solstice marks an exciting milestone on the calendar: the official start of summer in the Northern Hemisphere.

Occurring on June 20, 21 or 22, the solstice brings the greatest number of daylight hours of the year. According to Space.com, the summer solstice occurs when one of Earth’s poles reaches its maximum tilt toward the sun, resulting in the longest day and shortest night of the year.

For many people, the summer solstice is more than an astronomical event. It is a celebration of warmer weather, longer evenings and the beginning of a season filled with outdoor activities, vacations and memorable moments with family and friends.

After months of cooler temperatures and shorter days, the solstice offers a chance to slow down, enjoy the sunshine and welcome everything summer has to offer.

There’s no need to rush, making it easy to fit an outdoor adventure into even the busiest schedule.

Capture the moment.

Start a tradition by taking a “first day of summer” photo each year. Gather family members, friends or pets and document the occasion with fun summer outfits, matching shirts or favorite outdoor settings. Over time, the photos can become a cherished record of summers gone by.

Refresh your home for the season.

Welcome summer indoors by updating your décor with bright colors and seasonal accents.

Switch to lightweight fabrics, add vibrant throw pillows, display fresh flowers and use citrus or tropical scents to create a relaxed summer atmosphere.

Whether you’re looking to start a new tradition or simply make the most of the extra daylight, there are many enjoyable ways to celebrate.

Create a favorite summer treat.

Celebrate with foods and beverages that evoke the season. Homemade ice cream, fresh lemonade, fruit salads, s’mores and frozen mocktails are all delicious ways to mark the occasion and gather loved ones together.

Plan a hike or nature walk.

With daylight stretching well into the evening, the solstice is an ideal time to explore a favorite trail, park or nature preserve.

Make a splash.

Head to a local beach, lake or swimming pool and enjoy the first swim of the season. Whether it’s a cannonball into the deep end, a paddle

Bronkberry Farms Marks 15th Season Milestone, Continuing Five Generations of Family Farming and Community-Focused Agriculture in Plainfield and Joliet Area A family-owned destination where fresh produce, seasonal traditions, and farm-fresh experiences have brought generations together for 15 years.

Bronkberry Farms is proud to mark its 15th season serving the Plainfield and Joliet area. Owners Jennifer Bronk and Kevin Veen established the farm on land that has been in Jennifer’s family for five generations, continuing a legacy rooted in agriculture, hard work, and community connection.

What began in 2012 as a small roadside stand has steadily grown into a well-loved local destination. Today, Bronkberry Farms features a vibrant greenhouse filled with quality plants, including annuals, perennials, native plants, vegetable starts, and select shrubs. The historic 25-acre property also produces a variety of farm-fresh vegetables and apples, reflecting its deep farming roots.

During the summer season, the farm’s market comes alive with fresh, locally grown produce such as tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, sweet corn, vine-ripened watermelon, berries, and more. Visitors return year after year for the abundance of seasonal favorites and the welcoming atmosphere that has become a hallmark of the farm.

As autumn arrives, Bronkberry Farms trans-

forms into a fall destination complete with a pumpkin patch, hayrack rides, and the aroma of homemade caramel apples crafted from a treasured family recipe. The annual Fall Fest has become a community tradition, drawing families from across the region to celebrate the season.

The general store remains open throughout the year, offering canned goods, local honey, homemade pies, sourdough bread, specialty oils and vinegars, fresh herbs, and a variety of unique gifts and home décor items. In addition, the farm hosts a Craft Fair on the third Sunday of each month from May through October, showcasing local artisans and makers.

Bronkberry Farms also provides a pavilion space available for private event rentals, as well as educational field trips for schools, scout groups, and organizations serving individuals with special needs. These offerings reflect the farm’s ongoing commitment to community engagement and creating meaningful experiences for all visitors.

Jennifer Bronk and Kevin Veen invite families to visit the farm, enjoy the seasonal offerings, and take part in a tradition that continues to grow with each passing year.

Built on five generations of family farming, Jennifer Bronk and Kevin Veen have grown Bronkberry Farms from a small roadside stand into a beloved local destination celebrating its 15th season.

Backyards Are Becoming Year-Round Entertainment Hubs as Families Embrace Classic Lawn Games, Tech-Driven Play, and Modular Outdoor Setups From cornhole and pickleball to motion-sensor gaming systems and oversized board games, homeowners across the US, UK, and Canada are transforming outdoor spaces into active, social play zones driven by health, wellness, and reduced screen time Backyards are experiencing a noticeable resurgence as families in the US, UK, and Canada rethink how they use outdoor space. Driven largely by a growing desire to reduce screen time—an issue affecting children and adults alike—homeowners are increasingly investing in physical play and recreational features at home.

According to All About Play, the global outdoor toy market is now valued at around $23 billion in 2026, underscoring the scale of this shift. Fortune Business Insights projects the sector will continue expanding at an annual rate of about 4.65 percent through 2034.

Modern outdoor spaces are no longer defined solely by grass, patios, or a simple swing set. Instead, they are evolving into multi-use activity hubs designed for entertainment, exercise, and social gatherings. Whether a property features a compact urban yard or expansive suburban acreage, backyard games are helping transform underused outdoor areas into dynamic environments for all ages.

Classic lawn games remain central to this revival.

Cornhole continues to dominate as a crowd favorite, with competitive players often upgrading to regulation-sized wooden boards and weather-resistant professional bean bags. Pickleball is also gaining traction, with portable nets making it easy to set up temporary courts on driveways or lawns.

At the same time, oversized versions of familiar indoor games—such as giant Connect 4® and Jenga®—are bringing a more physical, social element to traditional tabletop play. These supersized formats encourage group participation and intergenerational interaction.

Technology is also reshaping backyard recreation. Motion-sensor systems such as Nex are turning outdoor areas into interactive gaming environments, blending physical movement with digital feedback. Similarly, some families are experimenting with virtual reality setups outdoors, combining immersive gaming with fresh air and open space.

A growing number of families are redesigning their backyards with games, fitness-friendly activities, and interactive play systems that encourage outdoor time and social connection.

Industry trends also point toward growth in modular playground systems. All About Play reports that North America’s outdoor play structure market is expected to reach $850 million by 2033.

These customizable systems combine features like trampolines, climbing frames, and adjustable basketball hoops into one integrated setup, reflecting a preference for flexible, longterm backyard investments.

As families continue prioritizing wellness, connection, and outdoor activity, the backyard is no longer just a passive space—it’s becoming one of the most active rooms in the home.

Making a Splash: Choosing the Right Pool for Your Backyard

From kiddie pools to in-ground retreats, homeowners can choose from a variety of options to stay cool and enjoy the outdoors.

Many homeowners aspire to have sun-drenched backyards they can enjoy for hours on end. But being in full sun all the time can affect the functionality of an outdoor living space.

As global temperatures continue to rise, the comfort of private yards depends heavily on how homeowners can mitigate sun and heat. A pool can make time outdoors more comfortable.

Swimming cools you down primarily through conduction and convection.

Water conducts heat away from the body 25 times faster than air.

When a person enters the water, heat is immediately transferred from the warmer body to the cooler water.

Homeowners can choose among various types of pools, weighing the pros and cons of each before settling on a decision.

• Kiddie pool: A kiddie pool is a way to test the waters of having a pool in the yard. It’s a portable play feature for children and typically is inexpensive.

Although it can be fun for kids, the small size and the need for frequent emptying and refilling can be a chore. There’s also no filtration, so kiddie pools can get dirty quickly.

• Above-ground pool: An aboveground swimming pool is functional and affordable. Angi says the average cost of an above-ground pool ranges from $1,000 to more than $10,000, with most homeowners spending around $4,000 for the pool and professional installation. Soft-sided, smaller pools can suit smaller budgets.

An advantage to an above-ground pool is that it’s not a permanent structure, which means that property taxes may not be affected.

• In-ground pool: Active families who like a multi-use swimming pool often turn to in-ground pools. These pools can be built into the landscape to form a seamless aesthetic.

However, that luxury comes at a cost.

The Spruce notes in-ground swimming pools average about $55,000 to install, and it’s easy to spend upwards of $100,000. Unlimited shapes and larger sizes for entertaining attract many to the in-ground option.

• Lap pool: Those who want a pool for exercise purposes can consider a lap pool.

It’s a shallow and narrow pool designed for swimming laps. Since they’re rectangular and narrow, these pools can be good for narrow lots.

• Pool club: Individuals who do not want to worry about pool maintenance can join a swim club or purchase day passes when it’s time to take a plunge.

Homeowners have different options to consider when thinking about adding a pool to their property.

Pools come in a variety of sizes and styles, offering homeowners different ways to cool off and enjoy their outdoor living spaces.
