Rose Hill Wassail 2026!

​UPDATE: Unfortunately, we need to postpone our Wassail Celebration one week due to the snow forecast for this Sunday—the new date will be Sunday, February 1. A little snow would have been fine, but the current forecast is for significant accumulation right before and during the event, giving us no time to clear and sand our driveways and parking lots. We hope you will be able to join us on Sunday, February 1 instead—same hours and schedule of activities. If you are unable to attend, please let us know and we can issue a refund for your donation. Apologies for the change and for any inconvenience this may cause.


RSVP for Rose Hill's annual Wassail celebration!

​It's our big chance to let loose, get wild, and cheer on some trees in the dark doldrums of winter. Borrowing from the English tradition, Rose Hill's Wassail is a community ceremony to thank the land for all it gives us and bless the trees for a bountiful spring harvest.

​Crafts will start at 12 pm—come make a crown from treasures foraged from the winter landscape or design a bell-covered noise-maker or, for the brave of heart, build your own torch to carry in the procession.

​The procession will start at 4:15 pm. We'll walk to the top of the hill for the Wassail ceremony. Bring pots and pans to bang, bread to hang on the trees, and rested voice boxes for hollering.

​Food will be available, served by Misto. Mighty Donuts will also be on site with donuts, hot chocolate, and coffee.

​This year we're requesting a $15 per-car donation to help us cover the costs of the event (including a tent for crafts this year!). Please give what you can—and come no matter what.

​Carpooling encouraged as parking will be tight!
