The Albury-Wodonga Winter Solstice was started in 2013 by the Survivors of Suicide and Friends as an opportunity for the community to gather on the longest (and often coldest) night of the year, June 21.

Now in its seventh year, the event aims to shine a light on suicide, grief and mental illness and start a community conversation, without shame of stigma.
