This event is no longer on sale.

Saturday December 21

6:30 PM  –  8:30 PM

Preregistration required for all participants. Geared for adults and children ages 9 and up with a caregiver.

Program participants should meet at the Abner Hollow Cabin (near the Nature PlayScape) at our Rowe Woods location. 

Join us on the “midnight of the year” for a modern observance of an ancient tradition. Gather around a fire and explore the history and symbolism of this celestial event. Celebrate the rebirth of the spring by participating in a community drum circle and contributing to a crowdsourced poem. Join a group hike lit by moonlight and deepen your understanding of the significance of the solstice. Complete with warm drinks and bites! This program is entirely outside; dress accordingly.

Member $10; nonmembers $15 (includes daily admission).
