Solstice Celebration December 21, 2009

Throughout time, people have come together to celebrate the shortest day of the year and welcome the lengthening days ahead. At Arcadia, we also have this tradition: we gather at sundown for natural history readings, music, and community unity. Ward off the cold with the warmth of the bonfire, sip hot cider, and listen to music. This year's music will feature Gaia Roots, thanks to a generous donation by the Easthampton Cultural Council. We make every attempt not to cancel this event due to inclement weather, but call Arcadia if a blizzard is brewing. This is a free event, however, please bring a nonperishable food item for the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts.
