Join us for the inaugural Elmwood Alight! For two nights in October, the cemetery will shine with light, art, and sound — an immersive experience designed to evoke reflection and wonder. Walk the grounds as night descends and see this 179-year-old Detroit landmark in a totally new way. Gates open at 7 p.m. with last entry at 9:30 p.m. More information and tickets available here.

Or perhaps, you would like to enjoy Elmwood on your own or with a group of friends. Each year, we are visited by those who choose to picnic alongside our restored pond, run or bicycle on our roads, watch for the migration of birds in Michigan, photograph our unique memorials, walk along our beautiful grounds appreciating our outdoor sculpture garden, the perennials, and majestic trees, or simply contemplate this quiet setting in the heart of Detroit.
