On 21st June 2026, the Brethren, partners and friends of Oliva La Safor Lodge No. 112 gathered at the beautiful Xironets Restaurant in Els Poblets for their annual Summer Solstice Dinner — an evening filled with fellowship, symbolism and sunshine in every sense.
The President, W. Bro. David Clarke welcomed a total of 36 guests who enjoyed a superb three‑course dinner, accompanied by the unmistakable voice and easy charm of Dave Manhattan, whose live music set the perfect tone for a relaxed midsummer celebration. The atmosphere was warm, convivial and unmistakably Masonic: good food, good company and good purpose.
The evening’s raffle, generously supported with a wide array of prizes, added excitement and friendly competition. Thanks to the enthusiasm and generosity of all present, the event raised over 300€ in support of the Centro de Marina Alta, continuing the Lodge’s strong commitment to strengthening our Masonic home in the region.
The Solstice: A Moment of Light and Meaning
The Summer Solstice has long held a special place in the Masonic calendar. It marks the moment when light reaches its fullest expression, symbolising clarity, renewal and the triumph of knowledge over darkness. It is a time when Freemasons reflect on the principles of enlightenment, the steady pursuit of truth, and the bonds that unite us as a fraternity.
Celebrating together on this day reminds us that, just as the sun reaches its highest point, so too should we strive to elevate our actions, our charity and our commitment to one another. The evening at Xironets captured that spirit perfectly — a gathering where harmony, generosity and joy were as abundant as the midsummer light.
Oliva La Safor Lodge No. 112 extends heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended, contributed and supported the event. The Summer Solstice Dinner once again proved to be a highlight of the Masonic year: a moment of unity, celebration and purpose as we continue our journey together toward greater light.
