Lynden welcomes winter on Saturday, January 27, 2024, from 10 am-4 pm, with a day of outdoor art-making, studio activities, tree walks, scavenger hunts, and whatever other winter activities–ice skating, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing–the weather permits. The event, sponsored by our friends at Davey Tree Expert, is free. Dress for the weather and consider carpooling—parking is limited.

Pedro’s South American Food Truck will be onsite from 11 am to 3 pm, selling an array of Latin American snacks, lunch items, and hot drinks.

Orchestrated by Some Fools (Olivia Keidl, Sam Lopez, Carter Voras, Aliya Moore), our highly participatory, artist-driven carnival offers something for everybody, from a winter walk around the grounds to myriad opportunities to try your hand at different projects.

More than 25 local artists will be on hand to help us reimagine winter. There will be plenty of all-ages workshops to sample (young children may need parental assistance to participate in some of them), artist projects to participate in, and walks and scavenger hunts to get you moving around the grounds. Take home an articulated snow paper doll, a miniature winter tree sculpture, a kite, or an ornamental memory jar. Make a winter-themed sticker, an edible (for birds) bird ornament, a rice sack heat bag, a small felted tapestry, or a hand-dipped candle.

Participating artists: Some Fools, Ophelia Hix, Paul Druecke (with Malachi Baer and Jayden Ellsworth), Margaret Griffin, Xarion Latimore, Kierston Ghaznavi, Heather Eiden, Lauren Newby, Sindie Ho, Hunter Louis, Natalie Alicia, The Everyday Feminist (Kate E. Schaffer and Melissa Dorn), Carolann Grzybowski, the Out There Series (featuring Annie Grizzle and Joe Kirschling), Ollie Scaffidi, Rylee Krumrei, and more!
