At sunset of the autumnal equinox, when daytime and nighttime are equal. NIGEL the NIGHT DRAGON and DESMOND the DAY DRAGON will meet on the Weeks Footbridge over the Charles River and lead everybody in the Equinox Waltz. David Coffin will lead the singing in this family-friendly event, alongside performances by musicians, Morris dance teams, activist street bands, and choirs. We might even see a spectacular sunset over the river! Raise your voices, get on your feet, and join us in celebrating the changing seasons.
