Winter Solstice Luminary Walk for Mental Health Awareness
December 21
5-8 pm
Riebe Park Trail
Join us on December 21, from 5:00–8:00 PM for a meaningful community gathering at Riebe Park Trail along the Rum River. Lace up your boots, grab a flashlight or headlamp, and take a peaceful one-mile walk under the glow of luminaries — a warm, welcoming stroll that shines light into the longest night of the year.
This event is free and open to all ages — a time to come together, and reflect on mental health awareness in our community.
​
Whether you come by yourself, with family, or friends — this walk is a beautiful way to honor loved ones, shine light on mental health, and walk into the season with hope.
