Riverside Cemetery

This event is growing into something that you will not want to miss!

Attendees will get to hear stories from our permanent residents, listen to a wonderful acoustic concert, shop from local spooky vendors, and dine on delicious food! Come as you are or dress in costume!

If this is a successful event, maybe this will turn into another annual event. As always, all donations and proceeds of this event will benefit the Riverside Cemetery Foundation so please come out and support us!

The Bouquet Bandit was back this morning and this time she brought along two little trainees.

Meanwhile, their security guard in the back is looking a little more intimidating every day. Just peep those growing antlers. 👀

As the morning sun peeked through the trees, it was one of those moments that makes you stop and appreciate just how beautiful this place really is. It makes me wonder what the founders of Riverside would think if they could see it now, 150 years later. Did they ever imagine that the cemetery they established would become a peaceful sanctuary where deer wander the grounds at sunrise and nature quietly steals the show? Maybe this is exactly what they hoped for....

The Music & Arts Festival called for a temporary ceasefire, and we're proud to report that all parties honored the agreement and for one beautiful afternoon, there was peace.

Unfortunately... We see that Monroe Street Cemetery Foundation - Cleveland Ohio has sent this butterfly to hide in the flowers and we suspect this beauty was here gathering intelligence.

We've also heard that the folks at Johns-Carabelli Cemetery Memorials are already back to plotting...

It appears the "war" is back on.

A great afternoon raising money for the cemetery and celebrating life.

A huge thank you to our volunteers. Each person played such a crucial role in making this event a smashing success.

Thank you to all the vendors, food trucks, and bands that participated. It was all of you that created the most amazing atmosphere!!

See you all next year!! Last Sunday in July. Mark your calendars now!!

It is so important to make sure our vendors know how much we appreciate them! Due to the unique nature of where our event is located, vendors are tasked with a much different set up process! So please make sure you take the time to visit each one!

Thank you vendors, volunteers, and all others who are making the Music & Arts Festival possible tomorrow!

Countdown is now less than 20 hours away!

This canvas tote was designed and screen printed by a local artist known as The Jittery Pigeon. We are always so impressed with the time and artistry that they put into the work!
