Celebrate the longest night of the year, the Winter Solstice, with lantern-crafting, cookie-decorating, and warm wishes for the season. Gather in majestic Armor Hall to decorate solstice-inspired sugar cookies and design a simple paper lantern with your wish or intention, then float your wish lantern at Aquatic Garden. As the lanterns drift together, their light represents the individual and collective sentiments of the Wave Hill community. Adults and kids 10 and older are invited to come early for a Winter Solstice Walk.
On Thursday evenings, enjoy hot cocoa and self-guided activities outdoors along our lighted pathways. The Café, Conservatory and Shop are open until 7:00PM. The grounds close at 7:30PM.
