The full Strawberry Moon will turn full on Monday, June 29, 2026.
Named for the traditional strawberry harvest in parts of North America in June, this full moon is notable for three reasons: it’s the first full moon of summer in the Northern Hemisphere, it will hang lower in the sky than any other full moon of 2026, and it will be the second-smallest full moon of the year.
As with every full moon, the exact moment of peak illumination is not the best time to observe it.
The most beautiful views will come at moonrise, when the Strawberry Moon will appear low on the southeastern horizon during dusk.
The single best evening to watch the Strawberry Moon rise will be Monday, June 29, 2026 — the night of the full moon — at the exact time of moonrise where you are.
To see the full moon at its best, find an elevated location, an open field or a coastline with a clear view of the southeastern horizon.
Moonrise will take place across North America in blue hour, when the sky is darkening but still retains color — perfect timing.
* New York City: sunset at 8:31 p.m.
EDT, moonrise at 8:48 p.m.
EDT.
* Los Angeles: sunset at 8:08 p.m.
PDT, moonrise at 8:26 p.m.
PDT.
The night before, the moon rises before sunset while the sky is still very bright.
The night after, it rises much later, when the sky is already dark.
The Strawberry Moon is the seventh of 13 full moons in 2026, a year that includes an extra full moon because the lunar year is about 11 days shorter than the solar year.
Of those full moons, three are supermoons — on Jan.
3, Nov. 24 and Dec. 24 — when the moon is near perigee and appears larger than average.
By contrast, June’s Strawberry Moon represents the opposite extreme: the ultimate micromoon of 2026.
The next full moon after this one will be the Buck Moon on July 29, 2026, which begins the run of higher, brighter summer full moons.
