Nightfall

Welcome to Nightfall, where the sacred meets the spectacular and centuries-old pathways become stages for the extraordinary. Step through Green-Wood’s gates and watch as our historic grounds come alive with creative energy and artistic vision.

This year’s Nightfall is MC’d by the dazzling Creatine Price, showcasing their operatic vocals and incomparable glamour under the Gothic Arch. Expect circus acts among the gravestones, candlelit storytelling, and cinematic visions projected through the darkness. Along the way, you may cross paths with Greedy Peasant and Sister Cecilia’s merry band as they parade across the grounds with exuberant flair.

With the help of our partners—Death of Classical, Rooftop Films, Bindlestiff Family Cirkus, and Morbid Anatomy—the Cemetery will transform into a stage for the unexpected, where every shadow holds a story.

Stay tuned for the full lineup of performers!
