Winter Solstice Lantern Walk & Celebration

Celebrate the winter solstice with a lantern walk and bonfire. Welcome the lengthening days with light, treats, and community. Walk along a short, easy trail lined with lanterns and light installations. Bring a lantern to carry if you’d like. Warm up with fire, hot cocoa, and sweet treats.

All are welcome at this free, family-friendly event. Advance registration is requested to help us plan.

You are welcome to show up at any time during the event. The lantern walk is self-guided, and there will be cocoa, snacks, and campfires from 5:30-7 p.m. There will be a solstice acknowledgement and invitation at 6 p.m.

Bring warm clothes, a flashlight, and a travel mug for your cocoa (to help us use fewer disposable cups). Feel free to bring a lantern if you would like. We will provide battery-powered lights to place in your lanterns.
