2014 Sunday in the Park at Oakland Cemetery

Sunday, October 5, 2014

One of my favorite events as October rolls around is Sunday in the Park at Oakland Cemetery. Thousands of people come out to spend the day at the historic cemetery shopping, eating, listening to live music and in general having a good time. There are also quite a few people dressed in Victorian-era clothing (think steam punk without the bling) and this year was no different. This year marks the 35th anniversary of the event. If you haven’t had a chance to go before or if it’s been a while, mark it on the calendar for next year!
