The Haunted Cemetery Tour takes place at Evergreen Cemetery in Yreka on Friday, October 30, 2026, from 6:00 to 7:30 PM. It is a night-before-Halloween outing among the old headstones, listed on Discover Siskiyou, and a fitting way to open Halloween weekend in Siskiyou County.

When is the Haunted Cemetery Tour in Yreka?
Friday, October 30, 2026, from 6:00 to 7:30 PM. Sunset in Yreka that evening is about 6:07 PM, so the tour begins at dusk and ends in full dark, which is exactly the point.
Where is it and how do you get there from Etna?
Evergreen Cemetery is on Evergreen Lane in Yreka. The venue page has a map link. From Blossom it is about 35 minutes: north on Highway 3 through Fort Jones, over Forest Mountain and into town.
The drive home will be after dark. Go with someone, stay on Highway 3, take it slow for deer, and check Caltrans QuickMap before you leave. Plan to arrive in daylight, around 5:30, so you can find the meeting spot and parking while you can still see.
What should you know before you go?
Tickets and price: the listing doesn't give a price or booking details. Contact Discover Siskiyou or check the listing before you go, since details can change.
What to bring: a flashlight or headlamp, sturdy closed-toe shoes for uneven ground, and warm layers. Late-October nights in Yreka get cold fast.
Kids: whether the stories suit young children isn't stated, so ask the organizer if you are bringing little ones.
Be respectful: this is a working cemetery with families' loved ones at rest. Stay on paths, keep voices low between stories, and leave everything as you found it.
Weather: if rain or wind rolls in, check the listing for changes on the day.
Make a weekend of it
Halloween weekend is full this year, from the Black Bottle Release at Denny Bar Company to the Etna PAL Trunk or Treat on Main Street in Etna. See it all on our full events calendar.
Blossom Sanctuary is a private retreat house in Etna for one to four guests, a short walk from Main Street, so Saturday's Halloween fun in town needs no driving at all. See open dates and prices.
