On Saturday November 2, 2024 from 10:00AM – 3:00PM we are excited to be a part of Evergreen’s second annual Good Mourning Festival!

The festival invites the public to come together to reclaim death as a special part of life. This event is dedicated to exploring and honouring the significance of mourning in public spaces. In a world where grief is often private and hidden, the Good Mourning Festival invites you to celebrate the profound communal aspects of mourning. Through workshops, food, shopping, art installations, walks and more, we create a space where grief can be expressed, shared and understood.

The Good Mourning Festival is more than an event – it’s a chance for people to embrace the full spectrum of human emotion in our public spaces. See below for details on each day and to find out how to register for Octobers offerings.
