The “shortest day” of the year has arrived, which means we will slowly but surely start to gain back daylight time. Celebrate winter solstice at spirit-brightening events from Trollstice Holiday Night Market to a Winter Solstice Community Bike Ride and from A Very Seattle Christmas with Travis Thompson, charlieonnafriday to Flying Lion Brewing’s 11th Annual Dark Beer Fest.
