Description

Celebrate the Winter Solstice!
Join us for an unforgettable evening of creativity and discovery! Kick off the adventure with a Nature Journaling Class, where you'll learn to capture the wonders of the wild through art and observation. Adults and kids can dive into hands-on crafts.
Pack a picnic dinner and savor the breathtaking sunset as it paints the sky with dazzling hues. Then, as darkness falls, welcome winter as you stroll the Luminaria Path, where nature comes alive in new and unexpected ways. Listen to the mysterious night sounds, the exhalations of sleeping manatees, spot elusive wildlife, and look for the gator eyes in the water.
Throughout the journey, friendly volunteers will be stationed and ready to share their knowledge and answer your questions. Whether you're here to explore, create, or simply enjoy the beauty of nature, this is an evening you won't want to miss!
Enjoy this candle lit night-time experience!
