Winterfest to Light-Up the Forest
December 4, 2015

PHILADELPHIA, PA � The Schuylkill Center's Winterfest is coming up this year on December 12 and it promises to be a magical evening. In collaboration with The Philadelphia School, the Center offers a celebration of wintertime, light, and darkness. Families can meet nighttime animals and enjoy tea, coffee, and cocoa as they make their own take-home lanterns and ornaments to carry on a lantern walk through the dark winter forest. Led by the lights of dozens of handmade candle lanterns (extras available for those who don't want to make one), attendees will explore the nighttime woodlands on a walk to a bonfire for s'mores, storytelling, and cocoa.
