This Fourth of July, trade the crowds for the quiet beauty of Green-Wood. Join Rest in Pace, our leisurely walking group, for a star-spangled stroll through one of Brooklyn’s most extraordinary settings—no fireworks necessary! 

Together, we’ll meander through the Cemetery’s scenic paths at a comfortable pace, taking in beautiful views, uncovering fascinating stories, and connecting with fellow walkers along the way. It’s more than exercise—it’s a chance to make new friends, share your own stories, and celebrate Independence Day in a truly unique fashion.

Price: Free
