Burning the Clocks in Brighton
By Linda Tancs
Today marks the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, the longest night of the year. To brighten it up a bit, head to Brighton, England’s famed seaside resort, where a carnival-like atmosphere presides on this night every year. The event is known as Burning the Clocks, a family-friendly festival featuring the parading of handmade lanterns through the city to the beach where the event concludes with a massive bonfire and fireworks. The fun begins at The Royal Pavilion, just a few minutes’ walk from the seafront.
