Back in mid-December Little, myself, my friend Jenn and her son braved the cold for SOLSTICE at Mt Auburn Cemetery despite the fact that it was bone freezing! My brother told me about it last year. It sounded incredible so I marked my calendar for this year to make sure I went. When I picked Little up, I couldn’t remember much about what my brother had shared except “it’s a celebration of the start of winter. I don’t remember exactly but it sounded really cool. I think we’ll like it!” It was a really special experience, and both L and Jenn’s son were excited to tell people later that they went and hung out after dark at a cemetery!
SOLSTICE: Reflections on Winter Light is an annual event at Mount Auburn Cemetery that includes an outdoor journey through large-scale light and sound artworks, and an indoor experience with live music and candle lighting. Guests are invited to walk through the light-filled landscape and explore the Winter Solstice atmosphere, and to reflect on moments of change as the year ends and a new cycle begins.
