The Solstice Lantern Walk is an annual event that will take place on the Riverwalk in Hillsborough on Saturday, December 21, 2024, from 5 to 8 p.m.
The event marks the beginning of the winter season, and the longest night of the year.
Learn about several ways to celebrate Winter Solstice in the Triangle!
The walk starts at Eno River Farmers Market Pavilion, and then proceeds along the River Walk, back to downtown Hillsborough.
It’s free to participate but registration is required. A $5-$10 donation is suggested. Register here, starting November 1, 2024.
This is a non-denominational winter-themed event. Participants bring handmade lanterns, lit with LEDs (no flames) and in winter or star colors. No red or green LEDs. Bells and chimes are welcome.
