Sunrise Solstice Walk at Evergreen Arboretum and Gardens
Saturday, December 21, 2025 | 7:53 a.m.
Welcome the return of the light! Join Evergreen Arboretum and Gardens for a peaceful Sunrise Solstice Walk to celebrate the shortest day — and longest night — of the year. Gather with friends, neighbors, and nature lovers as the sun rises over the gardens at 7:53 a.m., marking the beginning of longer days ahead.

Before and after your self-guided walk through the quiet winter beauty of the Arboretum, warm up in the Arboretum Classroom with hot cocoa, fresh coffee, and seasonal treats. Take a moment to reflect, refresh, and connect with the rhythm of nature as the year turns toward light.

This is a free community event — all are welcome to attend. Bring your cozy layers, a thermos if you like, and your sense of wonder.

Celebrate the solstice the Evergreen way: with good company, warm drinks, and the beauty of the winter garden at dawn.Come celebrate the shortest day of the year at our Sunrise
