The WinteRamble: Lincoln Square's Magical Holiday Tradition

On Wednesday, December 18, celebrate the upcoming winter solstice with the Lincoln Square Business Improvement District at the third annual WinteRamble—an illuminated neighborhood procession featuring the iconic Frost Giant puppets and icicle lanterns from Processional Arts Workshop. Make a mini-lantern at our free workshop, carry an icicle lantern, or just walk with us on the sidewalks and be a part of our neighborhood's magical holiday tradition. 

The procession starts at 5:00pm in front of 1886 Broadway (between 62nd Street and 63rd Street) and meanders through the Lincoln Square neighborhood to the ethereal sounds of J.C. King’s Kalimbascope (a rolling ensemble of acoustically-enhanced thumb pianos) until 6:00pm. Residents, neighbors, and visitors can join the procession from anywhere along the route.

Sign up via this form to make a mini-lantern at our free workshop between 3:00pm and 5:00pm, carry an icicle lantern, join the Kalimbascope (an interactive processional sound installation of acoustically enhanced thumb pianos), or walk along with the group. Everyone is welcome to take part in this family-friendly event! 

You can see fabulous photos from last year's WinteRamble on our Flickr or relive the event in this West Side Rag story by Daniel Krieger.
