PDAF Host Venue

During the Victorian era when Laurel Hill was founded, it was common for the public to spend recreational and social time in rural cemeteries. In that spirit, the Friends of Laurel Hill curate and host several shows and events throughout the year that invite creativity and life into the cemetery, from live music, immersive theatre, and circus; to programs for families and children; to our annual Outdoor Cinema Series and Market of the Macabre. We work with artists to curate performances that are not only enjoyable but which honor, celebrate, educate, and look critically at the many histories our sites hold.
