The Strawberry Moon 2025 is June’s full moon, named by Native Americans. This rare lunar event will appear full from June 10 through the morning of June 12.
The name comes from Algonquin tribes marking strawberry harvest time. In Europe, it’s also known as the “Rose Moon” for its midsummer timing and floral season.
You can see the Strawberry Moon from the night of June 10 through the early morning of June 12. It's visible worldwide, peaking after sunset each night.
This year’s Strawberry Moon will sit very low in the sky, making it appear bigger than usual—a visual trick called the “Moon Illusion.” Perfect for photos!
The Strawberry Moon 2025 will be the lowest full moon in nearly 20 years. This rare angle creates dramatic, cinematic moonrises during twilight hours.
In Portland, sunset is at 8:59 PM. Expect best viewing shortly after. East Coast viewers can catch it rising by 8:30 PM local time, weather permitting.
While most U.S. areas will have clear views, coastal regions like Oregon and Washington may see fog or clouds. Try again on June 11 if skies block your view.
Despite the name, the Strawberry Moon won’t appear pink. It may take on golden or amber tones as it rises, depending on humidity and atmosphere.
After the Strawberry Moon, July 10 brings the Buck Moon. Look forward to supermoons in October, November, and December—larger and brighter than average.
