Winter Solstice Celebration

Winter Solstice Celebration
11 AM - 3 PM

The Winter Solstice may be the shortest day of the year but there is no shortage of wonderful winter celebrations at Newfields. You’ll find everything from paper lantern making to live reindeer! Stop by Studios 3 & 4 to decorate a holiday house. Once you have finished your activities inside, head to Garden Terrace to meet a live reindeer and make a giant paper bag snowflake to decorate your home.
