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. Oakland Astronomy Club will be guiding you through the night sky (weather permitting). Warm cocoa will be waiting for you at the end of the trail. A take home craft kit will be provided. This event is entirely outside; dress accordingly. Masks will be required during the entirety of the event. This is self-guided walk along the lantern lit trail. Following current health dept. guidelines, this is a single family experience. Each family will walk the trail on their own and encounter nature stations along the way. We invite your family to make your own lantern and drop-off prior to the event so that you can find your special lantern lit along the trail. Details regarding lantern decorating contest will be on your receipt. If trail conditions are dangerous/icy the event will be cancelled.

This is a family program. Register ALL adults AND children.
