"Join me in the Tower. Reflect on what you've accomplished in your life as a Guardian. Rise to this new challenge, and even greater glory will be yours. Be brave, and enjoy yourself. It's a celebration after all."

— Ikora Rey

Solstice (previously Solstice of Heroes) is a limited-time Destiny 2 event. It is intended to celebrate all our accomplishments during the year.

Story

"This is our finest hour. Ever victorious against the enemies of humanity. Ever triumphant in our home, and around the system. Now the City wants to honor us. Who are we to deny them?"

— Ikora Rey

Solstice is held in the Last City. It memorializes the Tower and celebrates the return of the Traveler after the events of the Red War. During this event, Guardians go to the European Aerial Zone for combat and meditation, fighting with various Cabal, Fallen and Hive bosses who seek to claim it.

After the Endless Night was dispelled, the Eliksni of the House of Light would celebrate their first Solstice alongside the Guardians. On the 5th anniversary of Solstice of Heroes, now called Solstice, Amanda was able to create a new form of celebration known as Bonfire Bash, and the Cabal loyal to Empress Caiatl would celebrate their first Solstice alongside the allies within the Coalition Saint-14 and Saladin would take over the celebration of Solstice after Amanda died during the Shadow Legion’s invasion of Earth and would do so again once the Coalition defeated the Witness and honor those who died in the War against the Witness.
