Join Mayor Joseph A. Curtatone and community partners for the October SomerStreets event on Sunday, October 24th, and help the City of Somerville turn Somerville Ave. into ‘Pumpkinville Ave.’  From noon – 4pm, the event will include live music, games and activities, safe Trick-or-Treating and more, and the City is hoping to collect enough carved or decorated pumpkins to stretch from one end of the city to the other along Somerville Avenue. The event will also include a costume parade to kick off the afternoon.

Milk Row Cemetery, October 24 , 2 to 4 P.M.

This year  “The Ghosts of Somerville: Up Close and Intimate”  event will be a ghostly open house.   Visitors in small groups will be treated to short guided tours of selected gravesites where the resident Ghost will engage in conversation about their daily lives in centuries past.
Families welcome! Warm cider, donuts, and homemade goodies will be offered for sale, and entry to the Cemetery will be by donation, to help support its continuing restoration and enhancements.

The Milk Row Cemetery is located at 400 Somerville Ave, next to the Market Basket, on the edge of Union Square, Somerville.
