Winter Solstice Bonfire and Potluck

Celebrate the beginning of Winter with a warm drink around a fire with fellow humans and in nature. Share your memories, traditions and hopes for the coming season.

According to the calendar, the solstice is on Saturday, December 21, 2024. This day is the shortest day and longest night of the year. There are many traditions to celebrate the solstice and we can talk about some of them, from Juul to Saturnalia, to Gody and other ways to celebrate this day of seasonal change.
