Winter Solstice Celebration
Dec. 21, 7:30-9:30 p.m.
Celebrate the longest night of the year as while exploring the roots of modern holiday celebrations indoors and out at the West Woods in Russell Township. Enjoy cookies, hot cider and festive music by the Pilgrim Brass Choir, while children make a lantern from a recycled water bottle and tissue paper.
Then, outdoors, stroll the self-guided Solstice Traditions Trail, a magical, candlelit route through the forest. Warm up by a bonfire and enjoy interactive skits on the stage area highlighting solstice traditions of various civilizations with costumed interpreters. Dress for the weather.
