Winter Solstice Bonfire

Head to Allerton in Monticello to celebrate the “shortest day of the year” at the Winter Solstice Bonfire on Saturday, December 21 from 5-9 p.m. in the Allerton Meadow! The winter solstice marks the official beginning of winter and has been celebrated in a variety of ways for thousands of years, traditionally honoring the imminent return of the sun and symbolizing new beginnings.

In addition to the bonfire (lit around 7 p.m.), take time to stroll through Holiday GLOW, shop The Farms: Winter Market in the Mansion, and warm up with a meal from a food truck* and beverage from the bar.

$10/vehicle, payable upon arrival. Exact change is appreciated.

*Food trucks: Moon Bean Coffee, Daro Coffee Co., La Paloma, Mamma D’s Smokehouse BBQ

If you will need disability-related accommodations to participate, please email Christina Calcagno at clc@illinois.edu.

Please remember that events may be canceled or rescheduled last minute due to unpredictable weather or other factors. We encourage you to reach out to event organizers before heading out to an event to verify it is still happening.
