Winter Solstice Celebration

Tuesday, December 21, 2021 from 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm outside of the Recreation Activities Center. Registration begins 10/4/21.

Celebrate the most magical and darkest night of the year and the slow return of the sun with WB Parks! Learn about some of the different solstice celebrations from around the world and explore our lantern lit trail. Activity stations will be set up throughout this experience: Create a glowing craft; Oakland Astronomy Club will be guiding you through the night sky with telescopes (weather permitting), a custom glowing ice carving will be on display for a photo op; Warm cocoa will be waiting for you at the end of the trail. Other food will be available for purchase.

This event is entirely outside; dress accordingly. Bathrooms will be available inside the Recreation Activities Center. This is a self-guided, ~0.5 mile walk, along the lantern lit trail. If trail conditions are dangerous/icy the event will be cancelled. Hiking poles will be available to borrow (limited supply). Bring your own lantern or flashlight. Must be at least 3 years to participate. All adults and children must register.
