You are then free to stroll to marked gravesites where docents will share with you the stories of some of Long Beach's departed citizens. After you have visited all of the gravesites at one cemetery, you may proceed to the next cemetery to continue the tour. The tour consists of visits to ten gravesites, several of which were not a part of the tour last year. Please note that this is a walking tour of approximately two hours in length and can involve some uneven terrain. Proper footwear and attire are suggested due to unpredictable terrain and weather conditions.
Tickets are available for purchase at the front gates of either cemetery on the day of the tour.
Proceeds from the tour benefit the Historical Society of Long Beach and Sunnyside Cemetery Foundation. The tour has been extremely popular in recent years, and though reservations are not required, they do help in our planning of the event. Please note that parking is available at Sunnyside Cemetery only. If the parking area is full, you may park on the side streets.
