- **Event Name**: Phoenix Sculpture Burning at Patrick Marsh
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 20 Mar, 2026 at 04:00 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: Celebrate the first day of spring (Friday, March 20) with the annual burning of the phoenix sculpture at 4 p.m. at Patrick Marsh Conservancy Park! We'll meet at the south end of the park – see details here: https://groundswellconservancy.org/event/2026-patrick-marsh-phoenix-sculpture-burning/

The phoenix was created with the help of students at Sun Prairie’s Prairie Phoenix Academy and Westside Elementary School and constructed by Don Schmidt. Throughout the year, visitors of Patrick Marsh are encouraged to weave vegetation through the metal flames.  Once the growing season is over, we light the sculpture on fire.  The sculpture represents resilience, second chances, and personal and community growth.

We’ll also celebrate our volunteers and have refreshments at this event. And we’ll have some loppers on hand to cut brush for those who are eager to get some work done.

Thank you to the following supporters for making this sculpture possible: Anonymous, John and Judith Hutchinson, Tim and Beth Mielcarek, and Ann and Ron Semmann.
