Join us December 19th to celebrate the return of the sun and mark the passage of the seasons. Start the night off with a self guided night walk through the garden with special lighting and live music by Marilee Horde. Then gather near the Aerial Tree walk and Fireplace Terrace with a hot beverage and enjoy readings provided by Lilla Lit, a literary reading group. Books are available for purchase and our non profit gift shop will be open until 7pm.

Doors open at 4pm; Readings begin at 4:30.

This is an outdoor event, so please dress for the weather! Go to the Leach Botanical Garden website to purchase tickets. 

Tickets are non refundable even if the event is canceled due to inclement weather. All proceeds benefit Leach Garden Friends, a 501(c)3 nonprofit. In an effort to keep our audience members, artists, volunteers, and staff members safe during the COVID-19 pandemic, Leach Garden Friends will require proof of full COVID-19 vaccination, or a negative test result for entry into our in-person events. Masks will also be required in both indoor and outdoor public settings.
