June Full Moon - Full Strawberry Moon

The Strawberry Moon, also known as the Hot Moon or Planting Moon, shines through gaps in tree branches as a colorful lunar corona appears amid cloudy skies in a forest at Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on June 30, 2026. June's full moon is named for the wild strawberries that are ready for harvest, a tradition originating from the Algonquin tribes in the northeastern United States. This year's Strawberry Moon is the first full moon after the June 21 summer solstice, appearing lower in the sky than any full moon in 2026. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
