ElmwoodAlight halfheight for website

Join us for the inaugural Elmwood Alight! For two nights in October, the cemetery will shine with light, art, and music, all designed to evoke reflection and wonder. Walk the grounds as night descends and see this 179-year-old Detroit landmark in a new light.

Come and experience:

  • Immersive lighting displays featuring our architecture, monuments, and trees
  • Sound and music throughout the grounds
  • Inviting rituals that encourage contemplation
  • Refreshments provided by local hospitality partners

Experience Elmwood like never before as the cemetery becomes a site of illumination, imagination, and connection at the peak of the transformative autumn season.

Gates open at 7:00 PM. Last entry at 9:30 PM. Event concludes at 10:00 PM.

Tickets are $40. Buy them through our Eventbrite or right here: 

Elmwood Alight is presented by the Historic Elmwood Foundation in partnership with INVNT.
