Join us for our annual Victorian festival, featuring fun for all ages. Live entertainment will be featured at Lion Square and food vendors, including The Varsity and Six Feet Under, will be on hand. Free guided walking tours will be given and horse and carriage tours will also be available.
Local story tellers will tell tales of those who made Atlanta the city it is today. A large Artists' Market will offer beautiful, handcrafted items. Oakland’s traditional Teddy Bear Tea (bring your favorite bear) will be held in our expanded Kids Area, busy with crafts, games and clowning. Visitors will have the opportunity to view artisans presenting living history demonstrations and enjoy antique autos on display.
There will be a variety of live musical entertainment including: Hicks with Picks, Handsome Roy Glenn, Mike Rogers, The Uncle Mike Band, Margie Swint and Henry Frantz. Doug Lothes will be performing Gone With the Wind in Twenty Minutes. In addition, there will be an artists market, caricature artist, scavenger hunts (for kids and adults), living history demonstrations, Irish dancers, author book signings and storytellers (such as Dr. Gil Watson as Joel Chandler Harris, Fran Frantz as Nellie Peters Black and Cathy Kaemmerlen with excerpts from her book The Historic Oakland Cemetery: Speaking Stones.)
Oakland Cemetery would like to thank its Sunday in the Park sponsors: Six Feet Under, The Jane, A.S. Turner & Sons, Oakland Park, Mindpower, Atlanta Intown, Craft Creation & Design, The Stacks and BTB Fitness.
