An Illuminating Summer Solstice Soirée in Washington Park

Last Saturday marked the Urban Ecology Center's 10th annual Summer Solstice Soirée as well as the 10th Anniversary of our branch in Washington Park.

Guests enjoyed an illuminating evening with Washington Park’s lagoon as a picturesque backdrop as we celebrated how the Urban Ecology Center and our supporters are lighting the way by educating youth, preserving the land, connecting people to nature and bringing communities together.

We are deeply grateful for the generosity of our guests, sponsors, board of directors, friends and volunteers. Enjoy this look at selected moments from the evening, and visit our photo album on Facebook for even more highlights!
