Wave Hill Weekly Events: January 4 – January 11 | Forest Bathing & The Starry Night Sky

Winter Haven at Wave Hill has been selling out fast! There is still room for this week’s free evening Family Art-Palooza (DEC 14) with our partners from the Bronx Museum of the Arts and the Hudson River Museum and Friday night’s adults only Jazz, Mixology & Mistletoe (DEC 15). 

All Dec 21 Winter Solstice events are full, but everyone is still welcome to come enjoy the gardens illuminated at night. The Shop is also open every day and remains open late every Winter Haven evening. Come discover unique gifts for everyone on your list while enjoying the festive atmosphere and supporting local artisans and businesses.
