Why not end the longest day of the year with great food, beverages, a night hike and an up-close view of the stars in the enchanting setting of the Houston Arboretum and Nature Center? Saturday marks the Northern Hemisphere's summer solstice, and what better way to celebrate than in this oasis of nature on the western edge of Memorial Park.

The Houston Arboretum's annual membership drive is the perfect opportunity to experience a night in the woods while supporting the nonprofit urban nature sanctuary. Tickets include a full year's membership, which entitles you to early and discounted class registration, advance notice of classes, events and programs, invitations to members-only special events throughout the year, discounts on native plant sales and gift shop purchases and more.
