Winter Solstice Lantern Walk - Heller Nature Center
*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 12/13/2025
Celebrate the shortest day by traversing our snowy trails with nature lanterns! We will share poems and songs from diverse winter traditions from around the world as we proceed—if you have a favorite from your family traditions, you are welcome to bring and share it. First, we will gather to make nature lanterns at Heller Nature Center. Then we will parade through the park, with stops to sing, read a poem, or tell a story along the way. After our walk, we will return to the Nature Center for a much needed warming beverage.
