LongHouse Illuminated: A Magical Winter Experience
Step into the enchanted world of LongHouse after dark, where glowing sculptures and light-lined garden paths transform the landscape into a dazzling winter wonderland. Celebrate the beauty of the season with us and experience LongHouse in a way you’ve never seen before!

Featuring ZIMA! by The Neo-Political Cowgirls
Welcome back ZIMA!, our annual theatrical adventure presented by the Neo-Political Cowgirls Dance Theater Collective. Directed and produced by Kate Mueth, ZIMA! (Polish for "winter") is an immersive walk through the beautifully illuminated pathways of LongHouse. 

Audiences of all ages are invited to explore the gardens as they search for whimsical vignettes of dance, theater, and folklore from diverse cultures. Each discovery along the path reveals a new winter tale, brought to life with poetry, music, and dance. This year's magical journey takes about 30 minutes, leading you to a cozy art market where you can enjoy treats and holiday cheer.
