June full moon 2026: When, where and how to see the Strawberry Moon

The June full moon occurs at 7:57 p.m. EDT (2357 GMT) on June 29. That's when the lunar disk will pass opposite the sun in Earth's sky, appearing fully lit by the sun's rays.

This month's full moon is also known as the "Strawberry Moon," reflecting the time of year when Native American tribes harvest the ripened fruit. It is also the first full moon of summer, following soon after the June 21 summer solstice, which marks the astronomical start of the season and the longest day of the year.
