Make your winter solstice bright with these events

On Dec. 21, Alaska will say goodbye to about four hours of daylight and hello to the return of some of that vitamin D we’ve been missing.

If you are looking for something to do this winter solstice, say adios to darkness in the Golden Heart City and get a glimpse into Fairbanks’ history. Let a Friends of Creamer’s Field naturalist be your guide for the Winter Solstice Walk at the iconic Creamer’s Field barns.

In Southcentral, celebrate solstice with events like Solstice Celebration at Eagle River Nature Center and Winter Solstice Festival at Cuddy Family Midtown Park in Anchorage.
