Walk Among the Shadows

Each year, this live historical event features costumed actors who bring Portland’s past to life. Within a unique theme each year, these spirits, some buried in Eastern Cemetery, return to tell their stories. Visitors are guided through the graveyard in groups by hooded spectres holding lit lanterns. This October event allows everyone to experience local history in a unique and engaging way while raising money to support the mission of Spirits Alive.

Peruse our history of dates, themes, actors, and characters since 2007.

Our Eastern Cemetery spirits hope to see you next time!

Thank you for a great 2026 season! See you in 2027.
