## About

A two-day holiday celebration on the grounds of historic Oakland Cemetery with a community tree and menorah lighting on the Friday evening. Families can browse a holiday market, hear live a cappella music and take photos with Santa, and little ones can make holiday crafts and play in snow. Candlelit guided tours of the decorated mausoleums are offered as a separate ticket.
