tour guides in a cemetery

Spirit Walk - Dryden Cemetery

Come explore our Cemetery grounds and hear stories of some of its residents!

October 1-31, 2026. Opening event on Oct 1 begining at 6pm.

This year we will be doing a self-guided tour! Tour lasts approximately 1 hour. We encourage those who find it difficult to stand that long to bring a small portable chair. This event is in partnership with the Dryden Museum and the Dryden Genealogical Society. Any donations collected go to the Dryden Museum!

Drive-in Movie Nights

Pick either day to catch a film!

We are partnering with Sunset Drive-In Theatre to bring the public two Halloween movie nights free of charge! The first 50 tickets on October 9th and 10th will get free admission!

Dryden & District Museum Haunted House

Brave the haunted museum if you dare!

Geared to children and early teenagers, the Dryden Museum is bringing back an old favourite! The haunted house will run on Saturday October 24th from 4-7pm at the museum. Visit Trunk-or-Treat and then cap off the night with some fright!

Have an idea or suggestion?
