Come and join the Deans Marsh Community in celebrating the Winter Solstice.
At the winter solstice the Sun travels the shortest path through the sky, and the day has the least daylight and the longest night.
Cultures across the globe celebrate light, the natural world, the coming of the sun and longer days ahead, at this time of year.
The Winter Solstice is a locals event for the Deans Marsh and district community to gather and celebrate.
