Light in the Longest Night

As darkness reaches its peak, join us — in collaboration with Carrie Murray Nature Center — as we honor the Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year and the turning of the seasons. Together, we’ll celebrate light, warmth, and connection through time-honored traditions and cozy community spirit.


This will take place at the Carrie Murray Nature Center

Step outside to our glowing campfire, or warm up indoors by the hearth as we share seasonal songs and stories honoring nature’s quiet power. Together, we’ll light candles and lanterns symbolizing the return of the sun — a reminder that even the longest night gives way to dawn.

What to Expect:

  • Candle & lantern lighting 
  • Bonfire and indoor fireplace 
  • Crafts and storytelling 
  • Seasonal reflection & connection 
  • Warm cider and snacks
