Winter Solstice Celebration

  • Piedmont Wildlife Center 364 Leigh Farm Road Durham, NC, 27707 United States (map)

Join Piedmont Wildlife Center on Saturday, December 16th for our annual Winter Solstice Celebration!

During this relaxed outdoor event, we'll gather around the fire with new and old friends at Leigh Farm Park. We will provide marshmallows, s'mores fixings, and hot beverages, and you'll have the opportunity to reflect on the past year and set intentions for 2024. Walk a labyrinth made of natural materials, design your own paper lantern, and enjoy a sunset walk around the park. Then warm up by visiting our Ambassador Animals in the cabin!

All ages welcome. Admission is free, though we encourage you to consider making a $10 donation to help support our mission of connecting people and nature.

We will have some vegan- and allergen-friendly options available, though we encourage you to bring your own s'mores supplies or tea if you have dietary restrictions. RSVP encouraged (via our Facebook event) but not required.

Help us help the Earth! Please bring your own reusable mug so we can minimize waste.
