Winter Solstice Soiree

Prairieview Education Center • 2112 Behan Road Crystal LakeIL  60014 Organized by McHenry County Conservation District

About this event

Description

The winter solstice brings our longest, darkest night to the northern hemisphere. For centuries this event has been a call for celebration; come find out why! We'll investigate old ways to celebrate this celestial event while creating new traditions, including a star lit night hike ending at a warm campfire with some light refreshments. Come dressed for the weather and prepared for outdoor activities. We will hike 1 mile on potentially snowy trail conditions. Please leave the flashlights at home. We will let the stars light our way.


Be sure to register each family member that will attend. Children ages 13 and under must be accompanied by an adult family member.
