WINTER SOLSTICE BONFIRE
Head to Allerton to celebrate the shortest day of the year with a bonfire in the Allerton Meadow! The winter solstice marks the official end of fall and the 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. Take a stroll through Holiday GLOW, gather around the bonfire (lit around 7 p.m.), and warm up with a meal from a food truck and beverage from the bar (5 to 9 p.m.). Then, head to the Mansion for a special Colt Ball & Friends concert from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m.!
$20/car suggested donation can be made upon entering the Park, or donate online. (Includes GLOW, bonfire and the concert).
Note: Exact change is appreciated.
