Muggy warm days in southern Florida belie the notion of winter, even in the Sunshine state. However, just around the "bend" is the winter solstice. What exactly is that? The winter solstice is the shortest day and longest night of the year and often marks the beginning of winter. Immediately after the days begin to lengthen and nights shorten. While this might hold as much significance now, it historically was.
In ancient times, this was a day of huge celebration. In recent times its significance has dwindled. However at Corkscrew there will be an After Hours program so come out and enjoy the boardwalk under the stars!
