Sunday in the Park is Oakland Cemetery’s beloved fall festival. It’s based on the Victorian tradition of spending a leisurely day in the cemetery. It takes place on Sunday, September 27, 2026.
Hours are noon to 7:30 p.m.
In the past, Sunday in the Park has been a free event.
This year, however, it is merged with Tunes from the Tombs, which is a ticketed music festival. So you’ll need a paid ticket to attend the combined event.
The combined event features:
- live music on four stages
- cemetery tours
- food trucks
- craft beer and cocktails
- artist market
- storytelling & crafts for kids
- Museum Store pop-up shop
- living history performances
Music acts:
- BB Palmer with Electric Blue Yonder
- Boom! Trio
- Arkose
- Billy Allen + the Pollies
