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.
