CANCELLED in 2021. Hiking by candlelight, a roaring bonfire, roasted marshmallows and warm refreshments await everyone at the 10th annual Horicon Marsh Candlelight Hike. There are two trails available. One trail is 1.5 miles and another “Family Loop” is only 0.36 miles.

The Education Center will be open for people to warm up, view the 20 minute “Horicon Marsh Story.” The Northern Cross Science Foundation astronomers will be on site to help you view the night sky through telescopes or to talk about the stars if it is cloudy. Friends of Horicon Marsh Education and Visitor Center will line the trails with candle-powered luminaries to welcome and guide hikers.

Admission to the event is free; however, please consider bringing a non-perishable food item or hats/gloves/mittens for our food drive and mitten campaign.

Parking is limited at the education center so please consider using the shuttles. Free shuttles will be available from Mayville and Horicon from 4:30-9:30 pm.

The Mayville Shuttle will be located at Theiler Park, N8282 County Road TW, Mayville.

The Horicon Shuttle will be located in the Bethesda parking lot at 620 Washington St, Horicon.
