Face painting, food trucks and more at Summer Solstice Celebration

It may not always feel like it, but it's time to celebrate summer in Northeast Wisconsin.

Green Bay is hosting its annual Summer Solstice Celebration Thursday, June 20. It's 5-9 p.m. at Whitney Park.

The party has live music by The Presidents, food trucks, local beer, and games for the family.

Mischief & Magic Entertainment will provide free face painting. That's 5-7 p.m. Watch the video for a demonstration.

"Thanks to the sponsorship from Capital Credit Union, we're able to have a lot of free kids activities. So as you can see we're going to have some face painting. They'll be here from 5 to 7 p.m. There will also be balloon twisting," says Kathryn Kroll, Downtown Green Bay Marketing Manager. "Because of that sponsorship we're able to offer those activities free for families, so it's a really great benefit to all of the neighborhood kids that can come out and get their face painted and get a balloon animal. Then we'll have bag toss and tattoos and bubbles."

Organizers encourage visitors to bring lawn chairs and blankets.
