Musketaquid Winter Solstice - THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT

"We are crossing the waters, our whole lives through,
We are making a passage that is straight and true,
Every heart is a vessel, every dream is a light,
Shining through the darkness of the blackest night."
We are Crossing the Waters - Bill Staines

The Umbrella Arts & Environment Program is thrilled to announce the return of the traditional Musketaquid Winter Solstice celebration!

With some COVID modifications, we will once again gather outdoors on the side lawn at The Old Manse (269 Monument Street, Concord, MA) on Tuesday, December 21, 2021 to celebrate the longest night of the year and welcome the return of the light! Due to COVID, we'll forego food and singing in favor of festive highlights including:

• Bonfire
• Drumming by the Drum Nomads
• Solstice Ceremony at 6:30pm
