Summer Solstice Celebration at Sands Point Preserve

Spend the longest day of the year on the Preserve's beautiful grounds - special activities planned for Wednesday, June 21 at 6 - 8:30 pm

Celebrate the Summer Solstice outdoors at the Sands Point Preserve with a "BYO” picnic dinner and stay until the sun sets at 8:30 pm! (We’ll relocate inside one of our mansions, if it rains.) First, we’ll take a guided walk into the woods, along the pond and shoreline with “Tree Sister” Hildur Palsdottir. A special Family Yoga session will be held at 6:45 – 7:30 pm. Plein-air water color painting can be done throughout the event. Essential Rose founder Jennifer Goldman will lead a closing meditation, serving her signature floral tea.
