Druid Hill Park: 2nd Annual Solstice Party

Courtesy: Friends of Druid Hill Park's Facebook page.

The winter solstice marks an important turning, the day when mid-December's darkness slowly begins to recede and the Earth makes its initial preparations for spring.

It’s also a good excuse for a party.

For the second year, the Friends of Druid Hill Park is celebrating the winter solstice — an ancient Celtic tradition — with an evening fire and gathering at Parkie Pavilion, including the dedication of the park’s new Druid sculptures (see below), hay rides, music, and seasonal refreshments.

The Friday night event begins at 6 p.m. and runs to 11 p.m. Hay rides are scheduled from 7:30 p.m. to 9 :30 p.m.

More information can be found on the Friends of Druid Hill Park website and Facebook page.
