2020 Solstice Lantern Walk cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions

Hello, everyone

We regret to say that Friends of Galileo Astronomy Club must cancel this year's Solstice Lantern Walk.

We had hoped it would be a go, especially with the City of Longview itself hosting a Halloween event at the Lake.

However, the governor's latest directives shut down most outdoor activity until December 14. Even if all goes well by then, five days would not be a reasonable planning window for our December 19th event.

All of the sponsors I've been in touch with wanted to go ahead this year. Thank you for your support!

We hope to have our normal event in 2021. We may even have an extra summer event. Stay tuned!
