About this event

Celebrate the Summer Solstice with The Insect Asylum on a late-night journey into nature! As the sun sets on the longest day of the year, we’ll honor the season together with a field expedition in small groups, witnessing the magical dance of moths and other night creatures drawn to our light stations.

This is a chance to slow down, connect with the earth, and experience the wonder of the natural world under the solstice sky.

Before we head out, feel free to arrive early—your ticket includes general admission to The Insect Asylum museum! Come meet our incredible animal ambassadors, wander through our exhibits, and soak up the inspiration of the season!

📍 Meet at the museum at 7 PM — we’ll travel to the location together (drivers, please bring your vehicle).
🔦 Bring: A water bottle and headlamp

Organized by

We are working hard to bring Chicago its first Insect and Taxidermy Museum! Our focus is connecting to the beauty of nature in a non-traditional sense. During these events we will engage all of our senses to foster both excitement and growth. At The Insect Asylum we encourage you to explore, as we do! Every time you walk through our doors we are hoping you engage with the exhibits and develop a true sense of belonging with nature. Our mission is to allow people to get excited, to learn and to grow. We understand that inspiration takes flight in many forms. Come and get inspired, create, and connect with a beautiful community! Also, please keep in mind The Insect Asylum is a self-funded endeavor. This labor of love is ever growing, any and all funds we raise help us bring more to the community! We want to make our project affordable to everyone, so if you can afford to sponsor entrance for someone else please reach out. If you need to be sponsored to participate, please reach out or visit our website. We want to be able to include everyone. Donations of any kind are always welcome!

Hope to see you there,
