Wilsonâs Rendezvous R Park is lighting the way to the new year with its annual winter solstice celebration.
But instead of a big gathering (a coronavirus no-no), this yearâs observance of Earth beginning to turn its Northern Hemisphere back toward the sun will be a quieter, more introspective affair.
For the next two weeks people who visit the park at the intersection of Highway 22 and the Teton Village Road can take a stroll guided by 250 lanterns that have been decorated by valley art students.
âWeâre so excited for the community to see the final product,â R Park Community Outreach Coordinator Ellie Stratton-Brook said of the lantern display. âItâs nothing like anything weâve ever done. We wanted to offer something that families and community members can enjoy on their own and outside.â
