Islanders danced, sang and strutted their way down North Beach in celebration of solstice. Afterwards, crowds gathered on the Village Green for more merriment. Emcee Mark Padbury had everyone recite the following lyrics from the Beatles’ song “Here Comes the Sun.”

Little darling, it feels like years since it’s been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
