A Winter Solstice Celebration at Harold Parker

What causes the winter solstice, and what does it mean for us? Come to Harold Parker State Forest and discover this most important day of the year to ancient peoples and also to ourselves. Join us for a cup of hot chocolate! We will celebrate the solstice at sunset at exactly 4:14 pm and usher out the shortest day of the year. Dress warmly and wear hiking footwear, bring water with you. We will be taking a short hike prior to the solstice sunset ritual.

Take Rt. 114 from the N or S and follow the signs to Harold Parker State Forest. Turn R at the stop sign. Program will meet at the Civilian Conservation Corps pavilion on the left. Map link: 600 Middleton Road, North Andover
