Sacred Stories: Exploring Green-Wood on Dia de los Muertos
Join Women of Culture on Saturday, November 1, for a meaningful and artful day honouring heritage, memory, and community. We’ll come together to share stories, connect with art and history, and celebrate life through culture, food, and tradition.
This immersive experience offers a perfect balance of reflection and festivity — beginning with a cozy brunch at Confidant in Industry City, a welcoming spot offering hearty dishes and great conversation before we set out for Green-Wood, continuing with a fascinating guided tour, and concluding with a vibrant cultural celebration.
Founded in 1838, Green-Wood Cemetery is one of New York City’s most historic landmarks, known for its breath-taking landscapes, Gothic Revival architecture, and as the resting place of some of the city’s most notable figures. Spanning 478 acres, it serves as both a peaceful sanctuary and an open-air museum of art, history, and nature.
During our private guided 90-minute walking tour, we will explore the rich history of the Cemetery, delve into the tapestry of New York's past, and discover the monuments and buildings of profound significance.
Finally, you are invited to close out the afternoon by discovering the rich history and traditions associated with the holiday Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) through the garden's Day of the Dead family celebration, which is free and open to the public.
We hope you will join us for this unique and inspiring celebration!
