Celebrate the beauty of autumn on the open grassy grounds of Cemetery Lakewood with free art activities, music, cookies and hot apple cider, and more!

It’s the perfect time to get out and celebrate fall in our beautiful state! But you don’t have to go to a pumpkin patch or apple orchard to experience the season.
One possibility is coming up: the Fall Colors Celebration at Lakewood Cemetery in Minneapolis. The event takes place on Sunday, October 20 from 10 am – 2 pm and is totally FREE.

You may think it a little odd to celebrate fall at a cemetery, but Lakewood is really beautiful and is an attraction all by itself.
Gather for live music, hot apple cider, cookies, and fun art and science activities. Take a guided tour of the Legacy Trees of Lakewood or choose one of multiple self-guided tours. There’s even a scavenger hunt type of activity where you grab a Nature Quest sheet filled with clues you can look for throughout the tree-filled landscape.

Visit the Lakewood Cemetery website for a full schedule of events and more details. Lakewood Cemetery is located at 3600 Hennepin Ave in Minneapolis.
