Eclipse “Walk with Light” opening night of Season 2 is on Friday, November 11th at Muskoka Heritage Place.
Light is a beacon. It illuminates our lives, chasing away the dark and showing us the path home. It shifts with the seasons but never really leaves us, it is a gentle midwinter glow, a reminder that the light will always return.
Light and time go hand-in-hand. Explore what they mean to you at Eclipse “Walk with Light”, Muskoka’s most unique winter attraction.
Back for its second season, Eclipse is a forest walk aglow with more than 20,000 lights and featuring illuminated and interactive soundscapes that celebrate the cycles of our days and seasons with music and spoken word.
“I can’t think of a better place to experience this exploration of time and seasons than Muskoka Heritage Place in the Pioneer Village”, says Kelly Haywood Executive Director of the Huntsville/Lake of Bays Chamber of Commerce, “we were so pleased with how well the attraction performed last season. This year, we have some exciting additions to the trail set amidst towering trees and lots more to see Downtown too.”
As you follow a circular path through the forest at Muskoka Heritage Place, you’ll encounter six sound-to-light installations: muse about time at Crystalline, bring the flowers to life at Awaken, listen carefully to the sounds around you at Sundial, dance and play with the light at Twilight, make a shadow on the moon at Moonrise, and — new this year — travel through time at the Portal.
And every week, special events — included with your admission fee, weather permitting — enhance your experience of this luminous attraction.
On Tuesday nights, take a gentle goat for a walk with Muskoka Goat Away. Enjoy live entertainment with music on Fridays and buskers on Saturdays, while Fox in the Henhouse will be serving up their famous chicken sandwiches and doughnuts, and Canvas Brewing Co. will be pouring their craft brews.
Mark your calendar for these special holiday events, too:
● Celebrate the season at the Eclipse Christmas Market, December 16-23, 2022, featuring visits with Santa, Mrs. Claus, and the Grinch, carolling, a variety of vendors, and horse-drawn wagon rides (from December 18-23).
