Embrace the magic of the Winter Solstice with us at Hirundo Wildlife Refuge on Saturday December 21st, from 6-9pm for an evening of connection, reflection, and celebration. Gather around the bonfire, enjoy seasonal snacks & drinks, BYOB, learn about the solstice, what it is and what it means for the natural world, and spend time with friends - old and new.

Enjoy light refreshments, including coffee, cocoa, tea and seasonal snacks. We welcome you to BYOB or BYOW (bring your own wine!) to this event to toast to the longest night of the year!

During the celebration you may visit our “Reflection” station where you can write down things you wish to let go of from the past year and set intentions for the year ahead. Follow our guided prompts or follow your intuition. Keep your notes to take home as a reminder or toss them into the fire as a symbol of renewal! Or try stargazing out in our beautiful open meadow! There will be a telescope set up for use throughout the evening.

With stargazing, seasonal snacks, and the warmth of the fire, it’s the perfect opportunity to unwind, celebrate, and welcome the return of light. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
