Halloween at Glenwood Cemetary

On Sunday, October 25th ghosts will come to life at the Glenwood Cemetery. It will be the 16th year of Halloween at the Glenwood which features actors in costumes standing by their graves and telling about life and death in our old mining town. This unique and popular event runs from 12-2pm. There is no admission charge, but donations for the maintenance of the private Glenwood Cemetery are greatly appreciated.

Nothing brings history more to life than a group of actors in costume sharing true stories about life and death in old Park City! “Halloween at the Glenwood” is a locals’ favorite. Come listen to ‘residents’ stand by their graves to tell stories of happiness, sorrow, life and death.
