About this adventure

The City of Auburn Hills marks the longest nights of the year with a lantern-lit evening at Hawk Woods Park and Campground on Bald Mountain Road. Families take a quiet walk along the park's trails, which are lit with lanterns for the night, then gather for winter-themed crafts, a seat by a crackling fire and a warm drink. The event runs for three hours, from 6 to 9 p.m., so families can arrive when it suits them and stay as long as the children are happy. It is a calm, low-key alternative to busier holiday festivals and a gentle way to introduce young children to a night walk in the woods, while older kids can enjoy the crafts and the fire. The walk is outdoors after dark in mid-December, so dress everyone for the cold. The city's event page lists no fee and no registration; contact Auburn Hills Recreation with questions.
