Winter Solstice

  • Greater Ridgewood Historical Society 1820 Flushing Avenue Queens, NY, 11385 United States (map)

Join the Society at 5 PM for a celebration of Winter Solstice - Dec 20 (officially Dec 21, 2025 at 10:03 EST).  The winter equinox represents the shortest day and the longest night in the northern hemisphere.  Throughout the centuries, many cultures have celebrated the end of darkness and the return of light!  Bring a lantern, flashlight or even your cell phone and enjoy a parade around the Onderdonk grounds concluding with hot chocolate.  This event is free.  The Society may have some special surprises, so don't miss this inaugural event at the Onderdonk House.
