The Annual Historical Cemetery Tour is back for its 28th year on Saturday, October 26, 2024 at Sunnyside and Municipal Cemeteries (1095 & 1151 E. Willow St, Long Beach, CA 90806)! It is the signature event of the Historical Society of Long Beach. You won’t want to miss it!

The all-ages event features graveside performances by community theater actors portraying the life of the person lying at rest. Each year’s program features a number of stories – some are individuals who helped shape the city’s political past, others are ordinary people whose tales remind us that rich or poor, famed or nearly forgotten, everyone has a story to tell.

The tour is self-guided. Featured performances last 10 minutes and are repeated every 20 minutes from 9 AM to 2:40 PM. Gates open at 8:30 AM. Arrive before noon for the full experience.

The event also offers various attractions brought to you by the HSLB and local community partners. Attractions include Japanese American History, a Día de Los Muertos installation, talks by historians, authors signing local history books, and Long Beach history displays.
