Exploring the agonies of love, longing, loss, and grief.

The 2024 theme, The Afflicted, was an entrance into the enigmatic world of Victorian-Era mysticism. Guests tread upon the pathways of Mount Bethel Cemetery to invoke the spirits left behind by devastation and grief. Actors dressed in costume to relay the tales of their characters, exploring the agonies of love, loss, and longing.

This hour-long walking tour was the perfect balance of historical narrative and entertainment.
