CANCELED : Saturday, Dec. 17, Fitchburg Community Center, 1-7 pm

The shortest day — and longest night — of the year falls on Dec. 21, but there are celebrations of the winter solstice throughout the week. Take a guided hike and eat snacks around the campfire at the Aldo Leopold center (RSVP: aldoleopoldnaturecenter.org); or head to Olbrich Park for the annual event hosted by Friends of Starkweather Creek, with a bonfire, singing,

ice lanterns and refreshments (madsolstice.org). Circle Sanctuary's celebration in Fitchburg has been canceled due to predicted inclement weather.
