Thank you for supporting Longview’s annual Solstice Lantern Walk Through the Solar System!

If you're not familiar with the event, read our Solstice intro page. We want a simple event, free to the public and low-cost for the planet sponsors, where residents can get out for some light and cheer on the longest night of the year.

If you're ready to help create another great event, read on!

Contact Friends of Galileo if you can help before, during or after the event.
