Time Out says

This is the final resting place for Oliver Wendell Holmes, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Charles Bulfinch and some 86,000 others. In fact, the cemetery is now so full that locals who want to spend eternity here often settle for cremation. But there's plenty of life too. There are 4,000 types of tree and 130 species of shrub alone on its 175 acres, and excellent free guided tours to help you distinguish them.

Summer Soltice at Mount Auburn Cemetery

There's no better place to find inner peace than at the beautiful Mount Auburn Cemetery. On June 21, you'll replenish your mind, body, and soul with a free, daylong event for all ages to join together to celebrate Summer SOLSTICE. The entire day is full of nature, music, creativity, fun, with activities designed to restore and uplift. From outdoor yoga, sound meditation, horticulture tours, and flower crown making workshops to poetry readings, a community nature mandala, a healing ritual with herbs, and live music in unexpected places — the day wraps with a sunset concert by Berklee's Stan Strickland. Most events are free, with a few low-cost options.
