This article is about the short story by Nick Joaquin. For other uses, see Summer solstice (disambiguation).

"The Summer Solstice", also known as "Tatarin" or "Tadtarin",[1] is a short story written by Filipino National Artist for Literature Nick Joaquin.[2][3] In addition to being regarded as one of Joaquin's most acclaimed literary works, the tale is considered to be controversial.[2][3] The story narrates a ritual performed by women to invoke the gods to grant the blessing of fertility by dancing around a Balete tree that was already a century old. Joaquin later turned this short story into a play entitled Tatarin: A Witches' Sabbath in Three Acts, on which a film adaptation has been based.[2][3]
