MISC: SIN CITY WITCHES SOLSTICE PARTY Since prehistoric times, pagans have regarded the winter solstice—when Earth’s pole reaches the maximum tilt away from the sun—as a time of death giving way to new life. The Sin City Witches will keep the solstice party going through the longest night of the year, with live music, entertainment and dancing. The local group, which provides a self-described “inclusive” network for pagans, Wiccans and witches through social media and educational events, says all are welcome to enjoy the festivities. And of course, no dead-of-winter celebration would be complete without a solstice ritual, Yule tree lighting, and cash bar serving up holiday cocktails. 7 p.m. $15, Artifice, facebook.com/sincitywitches. –Shannon Miller
