Mark your calendar: Columbia City Solstice Festival
Posted by: webmaster in Events, Social, VolunteerCome celebrate the Winter Solstice and the (very slow) return of the sun with the Columbia City Solstice Festival, Sunday, December 20, 2009. Be there with bells on - Rain, snow or shine!
Festivities start at 4:20pm with sunset procession. Light up the night with candles, lanterns, bike lights, and glow sticks and join the procession to the Solstice Festival! Bring bells and noisemakers to create a joyful sound as you gather with your neighbors and friends to celebrate the (almost) darkest day of the year. The procession will begin at multiple locations and will pick up other groups along the route at:
- SW corner of Rainier Ave S & S Hudson St (near tree)
- MLK/Hudson from Light Rail
- Volunteer to lead a group from your neighborhood!
At 5:00pm, meet at the Southside Commons (3518 S Edmunds St, Seattle 98118) for a Sing-a-long with Columbia City Choir and area musicians. Light candles, walk the labyrinth, and enjoy refreshments and mingling with neighbors and friends.
