An annual community gathering around the beauty of illuminated bonsai

On December 16, bundle up, take in the outdoors and enjoy the serenity of bonsai illuminated by the soft glow of holiday lights at our 5th annual ‘A Bonsai Solstice.’ This event is the only time all year that we open the collection to the public at night.

BYOF (Bring-Your-Own-Flashlight) to explore the bonsai by night. Sip a cup of hot cocoa or coffee compliments of Caffe d’Arte and enjoy a sweet or savory crepe from Crisp Creperie Food Truck. Live acoustic music will fill the woods with soft sounds and add to the magical atmosphere. A pop-up Night Market will sell nature- and bonsai-themed gifts.

Admission to the family-friendly event and the Museum is free. (Donations to support the museum are always appreciated). For those who would like to take home a memento, commemorative mugs will be available with a $10 donation to the Museum.
