The Big Dark: A Winter Solstice Celebration Featuring False Hemlock & Friends @ FREMONT ABBEY

The Big Dark: A Winter Solstice Celebration
Featuring False Hemlock & Friends

An evening of music, poetry, and community for the longest nights of the year.

Now in its fourth year, The Big Dark brings Seattle songwriters and poets together for one collaborative evening anchored by False Hemlock. Artists move in and out throughout the night, sharing songs, poems, and new work written for the season.

After three sold-out years, the gathering finds a new home at Fremont Abbey. Come settle into the dark with us.
