GREEN BAY (NBC 26) — Green Bay is celebrating the shortest day of the year.

The city says the bridge lights will light up blue Monday night for the Winter Solstice. The city says sunset is at 4:15 p.m.

The Winter Solstice marks the day each year when there is the least amount of sunshine in the Northern Hemisphere.

Winter Solstice is the official first day of winter, which lasts until March 20, 2021. There will now begin to be slightly more daylight each day until the Summer Solstice, which is on June 20, 2021.
