About 20,000 people gathered at Stonehenge in Wiltshire, England, to celebrate the summer solstice, which is the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.

約有 20,000 人聚集在英格蘭威爾特郡的巨石陣，慶祝北半球一年之中最長的一天——夏至。

The main reason for these gatherings is that the prehistoric stone circle aligns perfectly with the sun during the solstices. While Neo-Druids and Pagans now hold organized events, the history of these visits has been unstable. In the mid-19th century, more people began visiting thanks to the new railway system. However, the 1980s were more chaotic. For example, the 1985 'Battle of Beanfield' was a violent clash between the police and the 'Peace Convoy,' which led to more than 500 arrests.

這些聚集的主要原因是，這個史前圓形石陣在至日期間與太陽完美對齊。雖然新德魯伊教徒和異教徒現在會舉辦有組織的活動，但這些訪問的歷史並不穩定。在 19 世紀中葉，得益於新的鐵路系統，開始有更多人造訪。然而，1980 年代則較為混亂。例如，1985 年的「豆田之戰」是警察與「和平車隊」之間的一次激烈衝突，導致 500 多人被捕。

Because of increasing vandalism and damage to the environment, public access was limited in 1978. Later, in 2000, English Heritage improved the relationship with the public by introducing a managed entry system for solstices and equinoxes. To reduce traffic on the A303, current rules include pre-paid parking—with prices rising to 25 pounds by 2026—and shuttle buses from Salisbury. These measures protect the ancient stones while allowing visitors to touch them during the event. Meanwhile, other European countries celebrated differently; for instance, in France, authorities banned public alcohol consumption during 'Music Day' due to extreme heat.

由於破壞行為增加以及對環境造成損害，公眾進入權在 1978 年受到限制。隨後在 2000 年，英格蘭遺產委員會通過為至日和分至日引入管理進入系統，改善了與公眾的關係。為了減少 A303 公路的交通流量，目前的規定包括預付停車費（價格到 2026 年將升至 25 英鎊）以及從索爾茲伯里出發的接駁車。這些措施在保護古石的同時，也允許遊客在活動期間觸摸它們。與此同時，其他歐洲國家的慶祝方式則有所不同；例如在法國，當局因極端高溫而在「音樂日」期間禁止在公共場所飲酒。

The event ended successfully, with English Heritage managing the large crowd effectively despite regional heat warnings.

活動圓滿結束，儘管有地區性高溫警告，英格蘭遺產委員會仍有效地管理了大量人群。
