The Metro: Detroit’s oldest cemetery will be lit up for tours this weekend

15 October 2025 at 20:08

Cemeteries are the last place one might look for things to do over the weekend. But, if you appreciate reflection and history over busy bars and music, Elmwood Alight at the historic Elmwood Cemetery in Detroit might be the thing for you.

The immersive tours take place October 17-18. Tickets are $40.

Amy Elliott Bragg is director of the Historic Elmwood Foundation.

She joined Cary Junior II on The Metro to discuss the two-night event.
