Engage all of your senses and step back in time as you play audience to first-hand re-enactments, narrated by a host of Oakland’s eternal “residents,” which bring to life the city’s past. Be inspired by the Cemetery’s gorgeous nighttime views during this one-of-a-kind annual tradition.
Bring a flashlight and wear comfortable walking shoes. There will be beer, wine, and soft drinks for sale. Browse Oakland’s Museum Shop for memory-worthy souvenirs.
