River Clyde Solstice Walk

The River Clyde Solstice Walk celebrates the promise of light on the darkest day of the year. On December 21 from 6–8 pm, the 2025 River Clyde Solstice Walk returns to the Gardens of Hope in New Glasgow. Community members are invited to step into the darkness with a flame, light, or lantern and walk to invoke the return of the sun.

The winter solstice reminds us of the cycles of renewal and the potential for change as we emerge from darkness. In the midst of the climate crisis, the Solstice Walk highlights our capacity for change through attention to—and presence with—our community and the natural world.

In the weeks leading up to the Solstice Walk, River Clyde Arts will host a series of free workshops spanning arts, crafts, and culinary experiences.

Workshop spots are limited. To sign up for workshops, book tickets for the main event on December 21, and to learn more, visit riverclydepageant.com/solstice-walk.
