Lakeview Cemetery Luminaria Walking Tour
If the event is sold out, email us at director@bonnercountyhistory.org to get on the waitlist.
Join us for a nighttime tour of Lakeview Cemetery and learn about the lives of Sandpoint locals from long ago.
Park on Division Ave. or at the north end of the cemetery, then meet at 7:00 at the small cottage near the river for hot cider and an overview of cemetery etiquette and the history of Lakeview Cemetery. The walking tour begins at 7:30 as darkness descends. You will rotate between tour guides who will show you different areas of the cemetery and introduce you to the people who are interred there.
Pathways will be lit by 'luminaria', a practice of reverence and remembrance with a history going back over 400 years. You will be walking on gravel, pavement, and grass surfaces, some of which may be uneven. Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring a flashlight if needed.
Event made possible thanks to Coffelt Funeral Services.
