Before purchasing your ticket(s), please note:

  • Tickets: There is no need to print your tickets. Tickets will be scanned on your cell phone. Please try to have your tickets pulled up before you arrive at the Check-In tent. If you are having trouble finding your tickets, search for an email with the subject “Order confirmation for SOLSTICE 2025”

  • Food & Beverage: Ovenbird Cafe will have sweet and savory treats as well as hot drinks available in our hospitality area in Asa Gray Garden. While alcohol will be included as part of the Elevated Ticket Experience add-on for $50, there will be no public sale of alcohol with General Admission tickets this year.

  • For Your Safety: We strongly encourage attendees to dress warmly and wear suitable footwear. SOLSTICE is primarily an outdoor event and the route includes small hills, some stairs, pavement, and uneven terrain. Attendees must follow all instructions and guidance from Event Staff. Please help us protect this historic landscape and do not stray from the event grounds and illuminated paths, even if you are familiar with the Cemetery and have a loved one buried here.

  • No Refunds or Exchanges: There will be no refunds or exchanges except in the event of a weather cancellation.  

  • Parking: Parking is located in an external parking lot located at 625 Mt. Auburn St. in Cambridge (about a 10 minute walk to the Cemetery gates). If you have accessibility concerns, you will be able to park inside the gates. A map with additional parking instructions will be emailed to all ticket holders before your event date. Public parking costs $10 this year. 

  • When to Arrive: We ask that attendees arrive within the 30-minute window of their timed ticket entry so that we can better control parking, check-in, and event flow (e.g. if your ticket is for 5:30pm-6:00pm, check-in should be no earlier than 5:30pm and no later than 6:00pm).
