Is the entry free for this event?

YES! Entry to this event is free to all. RSVP to receive a little welcome gift.

Shall we wear boots or hiking shoes?

To keep our adventure safe and fun, we recommend wearing warm boots or hiking shoes, but it is totally up to you:-)

Where should I park my car and join you?

500 Snowden Ln, Princeton, NJ 08540 (For Google Maps, use “Barbara Smoyer Park” for directions to the main parking lot.) Then, you can walk to Herrontown Woods (about 7 minutes walk). The Botanical Art Garden (Barden) is located next to the main parking lot of Herrontown Woods.

How can I support this event and Herrontown Woods' causes?

While there's no obligation, we welcome your support through any donations you choose to make by purchasing customized lanterns, tea, and tangerines on-site. Your contributions will enable more people to access and learn about nature, history, and our community.

Is there a rain date for this event?

We hope to meet you on February 25, in case we can't make it on February 24. :-)
